Abstract Syntax, the structure of sentences, enables humans to express an infinite range of
meanings through finite means. The neurobiology of syntax has been intensely studied but …

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 …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

Neurolinguistic accounts of sentence comprehension identify a network of relevant brain
regions, but do not detail the information flowing through them. We investigate syntactic …

Abstract The Wernicke-Lichtheim-Geschwind model of the neurology of language has
served the field well despite its limited scope. More recent work has updated the basic …

Brain oscillations are prevalent in all species and are involved in numerous perceptual
operations. α oscillations are thought to facilitate processing through the inhibition of task …

For multilingual individuals, adaptive goal-directed behavior as enabled by cognitive control
includes the management of two or more languages. This work used …

An argument that the meaning of written or auditory linguistic signals is not derived from the
input but results from the brain's internal construction process. When we read a text or listen …
