A functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study was conducted to map syntactic and
semantic processes onto the brain. Chinese‐English bilingual subjects performed two …

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

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to examine the functional anatomy
of word comprehension in the auditory and visual modalities of presentation. We asked our …

We introduce two experiments that explored syntactic and semantic processing of spoken
sentences by native and non‐native speakers. In the first experiment, the neural substrates …

The current study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to extend the
embodied cognition account of language processing to second language (L2). Twenty L2 …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to explore the neural correlates of
semantic judgments to Chinese characters. Adult participants were asked to indicate if …

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 …

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

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

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 …
