Switching direction modulates the engagement of cognitive control in bilingual reading comprehension: An ERP study
Publication date: August 2020Source: Journal of Neurolinguistics, Volume 55Author(s): Evelyn Bosma, Leticia PablosAbstractWhile switching costs in production have been explained in terms of top-down cognitive control, researchers do not agree whether switching costs in comprehension should be interpreted in the same way. Within the BIA + model, it has been claimed that the comprehension of code-switches can be explained sufficiently in terms of bottom-up activation of lexical representations. In the current electrophysiological study, L1 speakers of Dutch with high proficiency in L2 English (n = 63) completed a Flanker...

Incongruence of grammatical subjects activates brain regions involved in perspective taking in a sentence-sentence verification task
Publication date: August 2020Source: Journal of Neurolinguistics, Volume 55Author(s): Toshiki Iwabuchi, Masato Ohba, Kenji Ogawa, Toshio InuiAbstractVarious sentences can describe the same event from different perspectives (e.g., “John kicked Mike.” and “Mike was kicked by John.”). Humans can easily verify propositional equivalence of these sentences, but the underlying brain mechanisms are unclear. The present study examined whether the perspective taking system is involved in the verification of propositional equivalence between two sentences having different grammatical subjects, using a functional magnetic reso...

Minimal overlap in language control across production and comprehension: Evidence from read-aloud versus eye-tracking tasks
Publication date: May 2020Source: Journal of Neurolinguistics, Volume 54Author(s): Danbi Ahn, Matthew J. Abbott, Keith Rayner, Victor S. Ferreira, Tamar H. GollanAbstractBilinguals are remarkable at language control—switching between languages only when they want. However, language control in production can involve switch costs. That is, switching to another language takes longer than staying in the same language. Moreover, bilinguals sometimes produce language intrusion errors, mistakenly producing words in an unintended language (e.g., Spanish–English bilinguals saying “pero” instead of “but”). Switch costs a...

Asymmetric binarity as a cognitive universal: The rhythm of syntactic structures
Publication date: May 2020Source: Journal of Neurolinguistics, Volume 54Author(s): Danielle Fahey, Dirk-Bart den OudenAbstractIn syntactic and rhythmic structure, universal rules group elements hierarchically and asymmetrically. In syntax, the operation ‘merge’ is theorized to combine elements in phrasal structures, with one element governing the other, recursively, to form sentences. In rhythm, a similar asymmetric hierarchy of beats is proposed in the Generative Theory of Tonal Music. Just like syntactic processing, assigning beats into rhythmic strings, ‘beat induction,’ is automatic and subconscious. Merge and ...

Mapping vowel sounds onto phonemic categories in two regional varieties of French: An ERP study
This study examines ERP correlates of the different processes associating two phones to one vs. two phonemic categories in two regional varieties of French. Two groups of French listeners are compared, respectively exploiting two regional varieties, with a contrast between the mid-low /ϵ/ and the mid-high /e/ for Northern French (NF) but not for Southern French (SF). It is expected that the competition between the two close categories /e/ vs. /ϵ/ in NF could induce an ERP modulation in the processing of/ϵ/compared to a phoneme/a/with no close competitor, serving as control. In contrast, there should be no difference in ...

Bilingualism and aging: A focused neuroscientific review
Publication date: May 2020Source: Journal of Neurolinguistics, Volume 54Author(s): Haoyun Zhang, Yan Jing Wu, Guillaume ThierryAbstractResearch has suggested that using two or more languages on a daily basis helps older adults maintain a heightened functional state and improves neurocomputational efficiency. In this review, we discuss studies that have examined the effect of life-long bilingualism on age-related cognitive and neural decline, with a focus on discrepancies between different sources of evidence. We intend to outline and characterize factors which might explain inconsistencies between studies claiming that bil...

Supplementary motor area aphasia revisited
ConclusionRegardless of its rarity, it is evident that damage in the left SMA usually results in a clinical syndrome that clearly corresponds to aphasia. Interpreting this as an aphasia can aid in overcoming the limited idea of a “language zone” located in the perisylvian area of the left hemisphere, that was proposed over one century ago.
