The neural basis of syntax is a matter of substantial debate. In particular, the inferior frontal
gyrus (IFG), or Broca’s area, has been prominently linked to syntactic processing, but the …

Much recent psycho- and neuro-linguistic work has aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by
which sentence meanings are composed by investigating the processing of semantic …

Although research on language production has developed detailed maps of the brain basis
of single word production in both time and space, little is known about the spatiotemporal …

A fundamental function of natural language is to focus the interlocutor’s attention to specific
