متن کاملRestrictive vs. non-restrictive composition: a magnetoencephalography study
Recent research on the brain mechanisms underlying language processing has implicated the left anterior temporal lobe (LATL) as a central region for the composition of simple phrases. Because these studies typically present their critical stimuli without contextual information, the sensitivity of LATL responses to contextual factors is unknown. In this magnetoencephalography (MEG) study, we emp...

The two informal ‘mental landscapes’ that provide the intuitive substratum for stateoriented and event-oriented formal specifications are discussed, and abstractly characterised as networks of constraints. The structuring facilities offered by the two approaches are contrasted. A technique is introduced for expanding an event-oriented specification consisting of a fixed pattern of interacting p...
