Abstract Language is a key human faculty for communication and interaction that provides
invaluable insight into the human mind. Previous work has dissected different linguistic …

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 …

Uniquely human cognitive faculties arise from flexible interplay between specific local neural
modules, with hemispheric asymmetries in functional specialization. Here, we discuss how …

Sign language (SL) conveys linguistic information using gestures instead of sounds. Here,
we apply a meta‐analytic estimation approach to neuroimaging studies (N= 23; subjects …

Human language relies on the correct processing of syntactic information, as it is essential
for successful communication between speakers. As an abstract level of language, syntax …

The capacity for language is a defining property of our species, yet despite decades of
research, evidence on its neural basis is still mixed and a generalized consensus is difficult …

Auditory sentence comprehension involves processing content (semantics), grammar
(syntax), and intonation (prosody). The left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) is involved in sentence …

Intonation, the modulation of pitch in speech, is a crucial aspect of language that is
processed in right‐hemispheric regions, beyond the classical left‐hemispheric language …

Background and purpose This study was undertaken to determine and compare lesion
patterns and structural dysconnectivity underlying poststroke aprosodia and amusia, using a …

Neurobiological models of speech perception posit that both left and right posterior temporal
brain regions are involved in the early auditory analysis of speech sounds. However, frank …
