Grammatical Construction Model (Dominey - Hoen - Inui)
|
Language conveys meaning in communication. When one hears a spoken sentence, an action and a meaning which transfers the occurrence of this action are grasped. In this concept it is very important to understand the underlying neural structures which enable sentence structure interpretation in terms of its meaning. Construction grammar depicts the significance of this connection in the form of grammatical constructions. Current research mainly focuses on outlining a functional description of grammatical construction processing based on principles of psycholinguistics. It develops a model to implement these functions in human neurophysiology and demonstrates that the developed model is capable of handling different languages such as English, French, and Japanese. In performing these tasks, the processing of novel compositional structure of relative phrases is important. Simulation studies for 3 different languages (English, French and Japanese) to evaluate the performance of the model have been carried out and results are observed within recent neurophysiological studies of language processing.

Brain Regions Shared in Sentence and Sequence Processing
|
generic
|
Main observations are that a substantial number of areas (Green regions in Figure), including portions of the anterior left inferior frontal gyrus (BA 45/47), can be identified as specifically engaged in sentence comprehension when compared to processing abstract sequences. On the other hand, another consequential network of cortical areas (Red regions on Figure) participate in both of these tasks, including left frontal regions as the precentral sulcus and middle frontal gyrus of the left hemisphere (BA 6/9/46).
