Language comprehension: The interplay between form and content

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: In a 2x2 event-related FMRI study we find support for the idea that the inferior frontal cortex, centered on Broca's region and its homologue, is involved in constructive unification operations during the structure-building process in parsing for comprehension.Tentatively, we provide evidence for a role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex centered on BA 9/46 in the control component of the language system.Finally, the left temporo-parietal cortex, in the vicinity of Wernicke's region, supports the interaction between the syntax of gender agreement and sentence-level semantics.
