Moreover, it should be kept in mind that a model tries to cover most of the data in the literature, but certainly cannot include each and every data point published. 2, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Vol. is low pitched machine synthesized speech easier to comprehend at high rates? The argument for the IFG as the locus of unification (integration) is based on findings reporting an interaction of semantic and syntactic information in the left IFG (e.g., Refs. From these data the authors concluded that the anterior temporal lobe should be considered as a region that supports combinational processes both in the syntactic and the semantic domain. The picture that emerges from these studies may be less clear than some researchers had hoped (Ref. In general, these studies found activations at different locations in the anterior and posterior temporal cortex as well as in the IFG. Development of parsing abilities interacts with grammar learning: Evidence from Tagalog and Kannada. 8, No. The review has specified the brain areas in the temporal and inferior frontal cortex supporting different aspects of language processing, for example, phonetic, syntactic, sentence-level semantic, and prosodic processes (compare Fig. Other definitions are as in Table 2. 3, No. Language comprehension is incremental and takes place in three sequential phases. Once both semantic and syntactic information lead to the compatible interpretation, comprehension can easily take place. For example, linguistic theory defines that the verb cry only takes one argument, she cries, whereas the verb give takes three arguments, she gave a letter to Peter. Moreover, the verb encodes the type of the arguments (subject, direct object, indirect objects) which in some languages is marked by position in the sentence (word order) and in other languages by case (inflection or preposition), e.g., to Peter. Violations of the number of arguments and types of arguments (incorrect case marking) in a sentence lead to an N400 followed by a late positivity (71, 86, 88). 1). Childrens eye movements during listening: evidence for a constraint-based theory of parsing and word learning. 371, No. 8, The Journal of Pediatrics, Vol. I am reading about semantic and syntactic anomalies. (2016). Studies with patients suffering from lesions in the corpus callosum reveal that the posterior portion of this structure plays a crucial role in the interaction of syntactic and prosodic information during language processing. Then, the general network underlying language function in the perisylvian cortex will be defined and its neuroanatomical architecture will be specified. Pozzan, L., Gleitman, L. R. & Trueswell, J. C. (2015). For a recent tractography atlas representing the major fiber connections based on this method, see Catani and de Schotten (38). 14). In other words, are cognitive resources finite? 222, No. 8, 7 April 2014 | The Mental Lexicon, Vol. Middle part of the figure represents these shifts in MNI coordinate system. The organization and use of the lexicon for language comprehension. A number of studies have demonstrated large effects of task demands on identical stimulus sets (33, 79). This is a significant issue in the discussion of a functional neuroanatomic model of language. and Colleges work, provide an overview of psychological research that is relevant to language processing and learning, illustrate the range of methodologies used in experimental research, cover the most interesting and relevant psychological phenomena that have been revealed through (primarily) experimental research, introduce the currently most influential approaches to modelling these phenomena, highlight major theoretical issues in the relevant areas of research, consider how fundamental principles of learning and memory might be applicable to first and second language learning, First and second language processing from a mostly cognitive, but also neurocognitive perspective, Basic psychological processes that underlie second language learning, The cognitive approach. 15 and 49. 7, 15 November 2016 | Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, Vol. The waveforms for sentences with two intonational phrases (IPh) and one intonational phrase boundary (IPB) (green) and sentences with three IPhs and two IPBs (blue) are superimposed. 100, No. The convergence of lexicalist perspectives in psycholinguistics and computational linguistics. (189), who used a passive listening paradigm, used attention-demanding tasks. Other neuroimaging studies, however, reported the PT or the supramaginal gyrus to respond to speech compared with nonspeech sounds (46, 131, 174).

The latter system would be able to deal with suprasegmental information (i.e., prosody requiring a system with a time resolution of 150300 ms). Another way of investigating local syntactic structure building is to use artificial grammars which lack semantic relations. 4, No. 11). In the last decade, various models have proposed various paths through the wood (21, 67, 102, 117, 118). Therefore, it reflects processes relevant to language comprehension at different levels, but not only those that are language internal but also those that concern world knowledge (105). 10, 9 November 2016 | Scientific Reports, Vol. Area 6 can be subdivided into three subparts. Functionally, it was shown that the two areas strongly interact during sentence comprehension. 25, No. Two- and three-year-olds track a single meaning during word learning: Evidence for Propose-but-verify. 11, 5 August 2014 | Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, Vol. (2007). Heute hat der Opa dem Jungen den Lutscher geschenkt. These processes are hierarchically structured in time from the analysis of the auditory input to final integration and sentence comprehension. A study investigating sentences and word lists both with sentence prosody and word list prosody found bilateral activation in the anterior temporal cortex for syntactic and prosodic information, with the left being more selective for sentence structure (127). Prosodic information is mainly encoded in the intonational contour, which signals the separation of constituents (syntactic phrases) in a spoken sentence and the accentuation of (thematically) relevant words in a speech stream. Schematic view of two dorsal pathways and two ventral pathways. Trueswell, J. C. (1996). From this, we may conclude that the IFG's role as a region of combining semantic and syntactic information may be restricted to its more anterior parts. 13). questions, How the 162; for low-frequency fluctuation analysis in general, see Refs. flip 1) Die Mnner [PL] grt [SG] der Junge [SG]. These findings, in particular those of Musso et al. Friederici (67) proposed that this last phase (phase 3) represents a phase during which processes of syntactic reanalysis and repair take place and that these processes are reflected in a late centro-parietal positivity, called P600. 2, 1 July 2016 | Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, Vol. Philadelphia, PA: John Benjamins Publishing. Individual differences in language processing Trueswell, J.C., Papafragou, A. 178) should require such resources.
