Lexical and syntactic representations in the brain: an fMRI investigation with multi-voxel pattern analyses
Work in theoretical linguistics and psycholinguistics suggests that human linguistic
knowledge forms a continuum between individual lexical items and abstract syntactic …

'Constituent length'effects in fMRI do not provide evidence for abstract syntactic processing

The functional organisation of the fronto-temporal language system: evidence from syntactic and semantic ambiguity
Spoken language comprehension is known to involve a large left-dominant network of fronto-
temporal brain regions, but there is still little consensus about how the syntactic and …

Precision fMRI reveals that the language-selective network supports both phrase-structure building and lexical access during language production
A fronto-temporal brain network has long been implicated in language comprehension.
However, this network's role in language production remains debated. In particular, it …

Domain-general and domain-specific computations in single word processing
A Klimovich-Gray, M Bozic - NeuroImage, 2019 - Elsevier
Abstract Language comprehension relies on a multitude of domain-general and domain-
specific cognitive operations. This study asks whether the domain-specific grammatical …

What artificial grammar learning reveals about the neurobiology of syntax
In this paper we examine the neurobiological correlates of syntax, the processing of
structured sequences, by comparing FMRI results on artificial and natural language syntax …

Information-restricted neural language models reveal different brain regions' sensitivity to semantics, syntax, and context
A fundamental question in neurolinguistics concerns the brain regions involved in syntactic
and semantic processing during speech comprehension, both at the lexical (word …
