In an event-related fMRI study, we examined the cortical networks involved in establishing
reference during language comprehension. We compared BOLD responses to sentences …

Referential ambiguity arises whenever readers or listeners are unable to select a unique
referent for a linguistic expression out of multiple candidates. In the current article, we review …

A critical component of comprehending language in context is identifying the entities that
individual linguistic expressions refer to. While previous research has shown that language …

Relating the meaning of a word to the context in which it is encountered is central to
comprehension. We investigated the neural basis of this process. Subjects made decisions …

In this study, we show that the difficulty of re-activating and retrieving the representations of
potential referents from memory (retrieval difficulty) influences referential processing, and …

Pronouns are bound to their antecedents by matching syntactic and semantic information.
The aim of this functional magnetic resonance imaging study was to localize syntactic and …

The electrophysiology of language comprehension has long been dominated by research
on syntactic and semantic integration. However, to understand expressions like “he did it” or …

The embodied view of language processing proposes that comprehension involves
multimodal simulations, a process that retrieves a comprehender's perceptual, motor, and …

Recent research has shown that language comprehension is guided by knowledge about
the organization of objects and events in long-term memory. We use event-related brain …

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we identified cortical regions
mediating interpretive processes that take place during language comprehension. We …
