Abstract Language processing in context requires more than merely comprehending words
and sentences. Important subprocesses are inferences for bridging successive utterances …

Comprehending and producing sentences is a complex endeavor requiring the coordinated
activity of multiple brain regions. We examined three issues related to the brain networks …

Language comprehension engages a cortical network of left frontal and temporal regions.
Activity in this network is language-selective, showing virtually no modulation by …

Language processing involves the interplay of areas in both cerebral hemispheres.
Whereas the left temporal lobe is necessary for most language tasks, the right hemisphere …

Language comprehension requires the activation, coordination, and integration of different
kinds of linguistic knowledge. This chapter focuses on the processing of syntactic and …

Abstract We conducted an Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) meta-analysis to identify
brain regions that are recruited by linguistic stimuli requiring relatively demanding semantic …

In this paper, we report on a PET activation study designed to assess whether functional
neuroimaging would help to uncover essential language areas in normal volunteers and to …

Abstract Language comprehension is neurally underpinned by a network of collaborating
cortical processing centers; individual differences in comprehension must be related to …

Aside from the language-selective left-lateralized frontotemporal network, language
comprehension sometimes recruits a domain-general bilateral frontoparietal network …

This study examined brain activation while participants read or listened to high-imagery
sentences like The number eight when rotated 90 degrees looks like a pair of spectacles or …
