Because context has a robust influence on the processing of subsequent words, the idea that readers and listeners predict upcoming words has attracted research attention, but …

We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its computational nature, the representational level (s) at which we predict, whether we use …
A landmark account of the neurobiological basis of language—arguing that species-specific brain differences may be at the root of the human capacity for language. Language makes …
Ten years ago, researchers using event‐related brain potentials (ERPs) to study language comprehension were puzzled by what looked like a Semantic Illusion: Semantically …
It has been proposed that hierarchical prediction is a fundamental computational principle underlying neurocognitive processing. Here, we ask whether the brain engages distinct …
In traditional theories of language comprehension, syntactic and semantic processing are inextricably linked. This assumption has been challenged by the 'Semantic Illusion …
Language-related event-related potential (ERP) components such as the N400 have traditionally been associated with linguistic or cognitive functional interpretations. By …

Sentence processing theories typically assume that the input to our language processing mechanisms is an error-free sequence of words. However, this assumption is an …
The functional interpretation of two salient language-sensitive ERP components–the N400 and the P600–remains a matter of debate. Prominent alternative accounts link the N400 to …
