In recent years a growing number of studies on syntactic processing has employed basic
two-word constructions (eg,“the tree”) to characterize the fundamental aspects of linguistic …

A comprehensive neural model of language must accommodate four components:
representations, operations, structures and encoding. Recent intracranial research has …

Reading a sentence entails integrating the meanings of individual words to infer more
complex, higher-order meaning. This highly rapid and complex human behavior is known to …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

Formal approaches to bi-and multilingual grammars rely on two important claims:(i) the
grammatical architecture should be able to deal with mono-and bi-/multilingual data without …

How we combine minimal linguistic units into larger structures remains an unresolved topic
in neuroscience. Language processing involves the abstract construction of 'vertical'and …

Speech is often structurally and semantically ambiguous. Here we study how the human
brain uses sentence context to resolve lexical ambiguity. Twenty-one participants listened to …

Spoken language comprehension requires abstraction of linguistic information from speech,
but the interaction between auditory and linguistic processing of speech remains poorly …

Much of human learning happens through interaction with other people, but little is known
about how this process is reflected in the brains of students and teachers. Here, we …

Children's spoken language skills are essential to the development of the “reading brain,” or
the neurocognitive systems that underlie successful literacy. Morphological awareness, or …
