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 …

In the present article, the basic research using the mismatch negativity (MMN) and
analogous results obtained by using the magnetoencephalography (MEG) and other brain …

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

Psycholinguistics–the field of science that examines the mental processes and knowledge
structures involved in the acquisition, comprehension, and production of language–had a …

Cognitive linguists are bound by the cognitive commitment, which is the commitment to
providing a characterization of the general principles governing all aspects of human …

In the past 30 years there has been a growing body of research using different methods
(behavioural, electrophysiological, neuropsychological, TMS and imaging studies) asking …

The present experiment was designed to localize the neural substrates that process music-
syntactic incongruities, using magnetoencephalography (MEG). Electrically, such …

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 …
