More than words: Word predictability, prosody, gesture and mouth movements in natural language comprehension
The ecology of human language is face-to-face interaction, comprising cues such as
prosody, co-speech gestures and mouth movements. Yet, the multimodal context is usually …

[HTML][HTML] Electrophysiological correlates of semantic dissimilarity reflect the comprehension of natural, narrative speech
People routinely hear and understand speech at rates of 120–200 words per minute [1, 2].
Thus, speech comprehension must involve rapid, online neural mechanisms that process …

A tradeoff between acoustic and linguistic feature encoding in spoken language comprehension
When we comprehend language from speech, the phase of the neural response aligns with
particular features of the speech input, resulting in a phenomenon referred to as neural …

Great expectations: Specific lexical anticipation influences the processing of spoken language
Background Recently several studies have shown that people use contextual information to
make predictions about the rest of the sentence or story as the text unfolds. Using event …

Quasi-compositional mapping from form to meaning: A neural network-based approach to capturing neural responses during human language comprehension
M Rabovsky, JL McClelland - … Transactions of the …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We argue that natural language can be usefully described as quasi-compositional and we
suggest that deep learning-based neural language models bear long-term promise to …

Dynamic EEG analysis during language comprehension reveals interactive cascades between perceptual processing and sentential expectations
Understanding spoken language requires analysis of the rapidly unfolding speech signal at
multiple levels: acoustic, phonological, and semantic. However, there is not yet a …

Two sides of the same coin: Speech and gesture mutually interact to enhance comprehension
Gesture and speech are assumed to form an integrated system during language production.
Based on this view, we propose the integrated-systems hypothesis, which explains two ways …
