It is generally held that noun processing is specifically sub-served by temporal areas, while
the neural underpinnings of verb processing are located in the frontal lobe. However, this …

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 …

Many empiricist theories hold that concepts are composed of sensory–motor primitives. For
example, the meaning of the word “run” is in part a visual image of running. If action …

Although it is widely accepted that nouns and verbs are functionally independent linguistic
entities, it is less clear whether their processing recruits different brain areas. This issue is …

Unaccusative verbs like fall are special in that their sole argument is syntactically generated
at the object position of the verb rather than at the subject position. Unaccusative verbs are …

Verbs and nouns differ not only on formal linguistic grounds but also in what they typically
refer to: Verbs typically refer to actions, whereas nouns typically refer to objects. Prior …

Previous studies suggest that during lexical and grammatical processing, nouns and verbs
show distinct brain activation patterns; specifically, verbs are more associated with prefrontal …

Here we address the contentious issue of how nouns and verbs are represented in the
brain. The co-occurrence of noun and verb deficits with damage to different neural regions …

Abstract Nouns and verbs are fundamental grammatical building blocks of all languages.
Studies of brain-damaged patients and healthy individuals have demonstrated that verb …

This study examines the neural correlates of processing verbal entries with multiple
argument structures using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We compared …
