In recent years a growing number of studies on syntactic processing has employed basic
two-word constructions (eg,“the tree”) to characterize the fundamental aspects of linguistic …

The first 40 years of research on the neurobiology of sign languages (1960–2000)
established that the same key left hemisphere brain regions support both signed and …

Due to the ubiquitous nature of language in the environment of infants, how it affects the
anatomical structure of the brain language system over the lifespan is not well understood …

The ability to comprehend phrases is an essential integrative property of the brain. Here, we
evaluate the neural processes that enable the transition from single-word processing to a …

Sentence structure, or syntax, is potentially a uniquely creative aspect of the human mind.
Neuropsychological experiments in the 1970s suggested parallel syntactic production and …

The capacity for language constitutes a cornerstone of human cognition and distinguishes
our species from other animals. Research in the cognitive sciences has demonstrated that …

This meta-analysis summarizes evidence from 44 neuroimaging experiments and
characterizes the general linguistic network in early deaf individuals. Meta-analytic …

In principle, functional neuroimaging provides uniquely informative data in addressing
linguistic questions, because it can indicate distinct processes that are not apparent from …

The hypothesis that impoverished language experience affects complex sentence structure
development around the end of early childhood was tested using a fully randomized …
