Language processing is a trait of human species. The knowledge about its neurobiological
basis has been increased considerably over the past decades. Different brain regions in the …

Because context has a robust influence on the processing of subsequent words, the idea
that readers and listeners predict upcoming words has attracted research attention, but …

A landmark account of the neurobiological basis of language—arguing that species-specific
brain differences may be at the root of the human capacity for language. Language makes …

Ten years ago, researchers using event‐related brain potentials (ERPs) to study language
comprehension were puzzled by what looked like a Semantic Illusion: Semantically …

Reading times on words in a sentence depend on the amount of information the words
convey, which can be estimated by probabilistic language models. We investigate whether …

In traditional theories of language comprehension, syntactic and semantic processing are
inextricably linked. This assumption has been challenged by the 'Semantic Illusion …

Functional dissociations within the neural basis of auditory sentence processing are difficult
to specify because phonological, syntactic and semantic information are all involved when …

Throughout much of the history of linguistics, grammaticality judgments–intuitions about the
well-formedness of sentences–have constituted most of the empirical base against which …

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 …

Theoretical and empirical aspects of the neural bases of the mental lexicon and the mental
grammar in first and second language (L1 and L2) are discussed. It is argued that in L1, the …
