Dick, Anthony Steven; Tremblay, Pascale – Brain, 2012
The growing consensus that language is distributed into large-scale cortical and subcortical networks has brought with it an increasing focus on the connectional anatomy of language, or how particular fibre pathways connect regions within the language network. Understanding connectivity of the language network could provide critical insights into…

van den Noort, Maurits; Struys, Esli; Kim, Kayoung; Bosch, Peggy; Mondt, Katrien; van Kralingen, Rosalinde; Lee, Mikyoung; van de Craen, Piet – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2014
In this paper, in contrast to previous neuroimaging literature reviews on first language (L1) and second language (L2), the focus was only on neuroimaging studies that were directly conducted on multilingual participants. In total, 14 neuroimaging studies were included in our study such as 10 functional magnetic resonance imaging, 1 positron…

Thothathiri, Malathi; Kim, Albert; Trueswell, John C.; Thompson-Schill, Sharon L. – Brain and Language, 2012
The hypothesized role of Broca's area in sentence processing ranges from domain-general executive function to domain-specific computation that is specific to certain syntactic structures. We examined this issue by manipulating syntactic structure and conflict between syntactic and semantic cues in a sentence processing task. Functional…

Rogalsky, Corianne; Hickok, Gregory – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2011
The role of Broca's area in sentence processing has been debated for the last 30 years. A central and still unresolved issue is whether Broca's area plays a specific role in some aspect of syntactic processing (e.g., syntactic movement, hierarchical structure building) or whether it serves a more general function on which sentence processing…

Bolger, Patrick A.; Zapata, Gabriela C. – Heritage Language Journal, 2011
This paper focuses on the dearth of language-processing research addressing Spanish heritage speakers in assimilationist communities. First, we review key offline work on this population, and we then summarize the few psycholinguistic (online) studies that have already been carried out. In an attempt to encourage more such research, in the next…
