The distinction between syntax (sentence form) and semantics (sentence meaning) is
fundamental to our thinking about language. Whether and where this distinction is …

Humans have a striking capacity to combine words into sentences that express new
meanings. Previous research has identified key brain regions involved in this capacity, but …

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we examined cortical activation under
syntactic decision tasks and a short-term memory task for sentences, focusing on essential …

Sentence comprehension requires the retrieval of single word information from long-term
memory, and the integration of this information into multiword representations. The current …

Cortical regions engaged by sentence processing were mapped using functional MRI. The
influence of input modality (spoken word vs. print input) and parsing difficulty (sentences …

One of the challenges to functional neuroimaging is to understand how the component
processes of reading comprehension emerge from the neural activity in a network of brain …

We monitored regional cerebral activity with BOLD fMRI while subjects were presented
written sentences differing in their grammatical structure (subject‐relative or object‐relative …

To understand what you are reading now, your mind retrieves the meanings of words and
constructions from a linguistic knowledge store (lexico-semantic processing) and identifies …

Sentences encode hierarchical structural relations among words. Several neuroimaging
experiments aiming to localize combinatory operations responsible for creating this structure …

Syntactic comprehension is a fundamental aspect of human language, and has distinct
properties from other aspects of language (eg semantics). In this article, we aim to identify if …
