Zusammenfassung
Extracting meaning from speech requires the use of semantic and syntactic information. It is still a matter of debate to what extent processing of these different types of linguistic information have common neuroanatomical substrates. In the present study, we used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify brain regions involved in semantic and syntactic processing. Twelve healthy subjects read well-formed sentences randomly intermixed with sentences with either semantic or morphosyntactic violations. Accuracy and reaction times of responses were measured on-line. As stimulus material…
