In language, not only do sentence meanings depend on how words are structured together, but word meanings also depend on their roles in the structure. While we have some understanding of how the brain grasps complex meanings built from simpler parts, we know far less about how linguistic structure reshapes the meanings...

We investigated the neural mechanisms u...

Two Words Are Faster Than One: Neural Dynamics of Accelerated Meaning in Phrases.

Although we increasingly understand how the brain processes phrase-level meaning, the role of semantic content remains underexplored. Recent models grounded in componential experiential features offer a principled framework for linking conceptual representation to the neurobiology of semantic composition. Here we used...
