Twenty years ago it was discovered that recognition of semantically unexpected words is
associated with a special ERP signature–the N400. Pinpointing the precise functional …

Research on spoken word perception and production has identified two hallmarks of spoken
word processing: multiple activation of representations of the sound patterns of words in …

Publisher Summary In 1994, there were only two dominant noninvasive techniques to offer
insight about the functional organization of language from its brain bases: the behavior of …

EEG correlates of a range of psycholinguistic word properties were used to investigate the
time course of access to psycholinguistic information during visual word recognition …

We describe a functional architecture for word recognition that focuses on how orthographic
and phonological information cooperates in initial form‐based processing of printed word …

The expressive power of language lies in its ability to construct an infinite array of ideas out
of a finite set of pieces. Surprisingly, few neurolinguistic investigations probe the basic …

Abstract Language is experienced primarily through one of two mediums—spoken words
and written text. Although substantially different in form, these two linguistic vehicles possess …

Rapid information processing in the human brain is vital to survival in a highly dynamic
environment. The key tool humans use to exchange information is spoken language, but the …

We examined the neural correlates of semantic ambiguity by measuring changes in MEG
recordings during a visual lexical decision task in which the properties of ambiguous words …

Against longstanding assumptions in the psycholinguistics literature, we argue for a model
of morphological complexity that has all complex words assembled by the grammar from …
