An argument that the meaning of written or auditory linguistic signals is not derived from the
input but results from the brain's internal construction process. When we read a text or listen …

Rhythmicity and oscillations are common features in nature, and can be seen in phenomena
such as seasons, breathing, and brain activity. Despite the fact that a single neuron transmits …

In sentences such as “Some dogs are mammals,” the literal semantic meaning (“Some and
possibly all dogs are mammals”) conflicts with the pragmatic meaning (“Not all dogs are …

It is considered underinformative to say Some As are B when it is known that all A s are B.
Such underinformative sentences receive divergent truth-value judgements: whereas so …

Most previous studies on negation have generally only focused on sentential negation (not),
but the time course of processing negative meaning from different sources remains poorly …

The present study investigated how pragmatic information is integrated during L2 sentence
comprehension. We put forward that the differences often observed between L1 and L2 …

Abstract Language interpretation is often assumed to be incremental. However, our studies
of quantifier expressions in isolated sentences found N400 event-related brain potential …

Scalar inference is the phenomenon whereby the use of a less informative term (eg, some
of) is inferred to mean the negation of a more informative term (eg, to mean not all of) …

Using self-paced reading, the present study compared native English and adult L1-Korean–
L2-English speakers' processing behaviors during online comprehension of …

Different classes of quantifiers provably require different verification algorithms with different
complexity profiles. The algorithm for proportional quantifiers, like 'most', is more complex …
