In recent years a growing number of studies on syntactic processing has employed basic
two-word constructions (eg,“the tree”) to characterize the fundamental aspects of linguistic …

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 …

" Introduction There are numerous neurobiological models of language, ranging from those
concerned with speech perception, white matter structure, and the function of dorsal and …

Speech components emerged in the hominin lineage before the rise of modern human
behavior and were already in place in monkey species. Evidence from genetics to …

It has been argued that the principles constraining first language acquisition also constrain
second language acquisition; however, neuroscientific evidence for this is scant, and even …

Categorical predictions have been proposed as the key mechanism supporting the fast pace
of syntactic composition in language. Accordingly, grammar-based expectations are formed …

Humans are unique in their ability to parse hierarchical structures of sentences. Previous
studies demonstrated that syntactic processes at different hierarchies are subserved by …
