The neural basis of combinatory syntax and semantics

L Pylkkänen - Science, 2019 - science.org
Human language allows us to create an infinitude of ideas from a finite set of basic building
blocks. What is the neurobiology of this combinatory system? Research has begun to dissect …

Abstract linguistic structure correlates with temporal activity during naturalistic comprehension

JR Brennan, EP Stabler, SE Van Wagenen, WM Luh… - Brain and language, 2016 - Elsevier
Neurolinguistic accounts of sentence comprehension identify a network of relevant brain
