Building by syntax: the neural basis of minimal linguistic structures
Abstract Language comes in utterances in which words are bound together according to a
simple rule-based syntactic computation (merge), which creates linguistic hierarchies of …

Reviewing the functional basis of the syntactic Merge mechanism for language: A coordinate-based activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis
E Zaccarella, M Schell, AD Friederici - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral …, 2017 - Elsevier
The ability to create structures out of single words is a key aspect of human language. This
combinatorial capacity relies on a low-level syntactic mechanism—Merge—assembling …

Words in context: The effects of length, frequency, and predictability on brain responses during natural reading
Word length, frequency, and predictability count among the most influential variables during
reading. Their effects are well-documented in eye movement studies, but pertinent evidence …

The ventrolateral prefrontal cortex facilitates processing of sentential context to locate referents
Left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) has been implicated in both integration and
conflict resolution in sentence comprehension. Most evidence in favor of the integration …

Dough, tough, cough, rough: A “fast” fMRI localizer of component processes in reading
In the current study, we present a novel fMRI protocol in which words, pseudowords, and
other word-like stimuli are passively presented in a rapid, sequential fashion. In this “fast” …
