Abstract	Both the top-down and bottom-up processing are identified in language comprehension: the top-down processing depends on previous language experience and the bottom-up processing depends on instant language inputs. In speech perception, both types of processing are needed while perceiving pitch variations as lexical tones. In this paper, based on three ERP experiments, we propose a temporal model unifying both types of processing in a parallel way. These two types of processing, existing in both the early and late time windows, modulate the degrees of the general left lateralization of different ERP components (N1, P2, and N400).
