Abstract

The brain bioelectrical activity changes in students of non-linguistic specialties during silent reading of Russian and English collocations - syntagmatic and paradigmatic constructions - has been studied. A coherent analysis of electroencephalographic components (EEG) has identified specific topographical characteristics of theta-band functional connections: increased synchronous activity of the frontal associative and occipital, temporal and parieto-temporo-occipital areas of both hemispheres. Active participation of the frontal areas in the process of decoding of verbal information of different collocation types has been detected. It has been shown that Russian paradigmatic constructions were more difficult for processing compared to syntagmatic ones. Reading in English is complicated in general for the students of the non-linguistic departments independent from types of grammatical constructions.
