3 Neural Bases of Sentence Processing: Evidence from Neurolinguistic and Neuroimaging Studies
Get accessCynthia K. Thompson is a Ralph and Jean Sundin Distinguished Professor of Communication Science, Professor of Neurology, and Director of the Center for the Neurobiology of Language Recovery (CNLR) at Northwestern University. Her work, supported by the National Institutes of Health throughout her academic career, examines normal and disordered sentence processing (and recovery in aphasia), using online (i.e., eye-tracking), multimodal neuroimaging, and other methods. She has published her work in more than 150 papers in referred journals, numerous book chapters, and two books.

Abstract
Sentence processing requires rapid integration of information over a short period of time. Models of language processing suggest that syntactic, semantic, and phonological detail must be accessed and coordinated within milliseconds to successfully produce or understand sentences. Exactly how this is accomplished and what neural mechanisms are engaged in real time to carry out these processes is not completely understood. Research examining the neural mechanisms associated with sentence processing elucidates a left hemisphere network involving both anterior and posterior brain regions, although studies show that the right hemisphere is also engaged to some extent. This chapter discusses what is known about the neural systems involved in sentence production and comprehension. Two bodies of research are discussed: neurolinguistic evidence derived from lesion-deficit studies with brain-damaged people, and neuroimaging research examining the neural correlates of sentence processing in healthy individuals.
