Sequential processing of lexical, grammatical, and phonological information within Broca's area.

14 Oct 2009 Words, grammar, and phonology are linguistically distinct, yet their neural substrates are difficult to distinguish in macroscopic brain regions. We investigated whether they can be separated in time and space at the circuit level using intracranial ... Read more...

Modeling children's early grammatical knowledge.

3 Oct 2009 Theories of grammatical development differ in how much abstract knowledge they attribute to young children. Here, we report a series of experiments using a computational model to evaluate the explanatory power of child grammars based not on abstract ... Read more...

Event-related potential evidence of processing lexical pitch-accent in auditory Japanese sentences.

21 Sep 2009 Neural mechanisms that underlie the processing of lexical pitch-accent in auditory Japanese were investigated by using event-related potentials. Native speakers of Japanese listened to two types of short sentences, both consisting of a noun and a ... Read more...
