Cognitive empathy modulates the processing of pragmatic constraints during sentence comprehension.
Previous studies have shown that brain regions for mentalizing, including temporoparietal junction (TPJ) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), are activated in understanding the nonliteral meaning of sentences. A different set of brain regions, including left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), is activated for dealing with pragmatic incongruence. Here we demonstrate that individuals' cognitive empath...
متن کاملConstraints on sentence comprehension.
The process of comprehending sentences involves the integration of a variety of different information sources, constrained by the available computational resources. This paper surveys the evidence for four types of constraints on sentence comprehension: (1) lexical constraints, (2) contextual constraints, (3) locality-based computational resource constraints, and (4) phrase-level contingent fre...
متن کاملThe Processing of Fixed Expressions during Sentence Comprehension
Understanding language involves recognition and access to not only individual words, but also to a vast array of fixed expressions idioms, collocations, proverbs, common quotations, names, titles, slogans, song lyrics, etc. The purpose of the present paper is to examine the question of how fixed expressions particularly those with non-literal interpretations are understood during on-line senten...
متن کاملParticipant roles and the processing of verbs during sentence comprehension.
This paper explores the nature of thematic information made available when a verb is accessed during sentence comprehension. Following Shapiro, Zurif, and Grimshaw (1987), a cross-modal lexical decision (interference) task was employed to examine whether either the number of argument structures or the number of participant (thematic) roles inherent in a verb cause an increase in processing load...
متن کاملLexical Processing during Sentence Comprehension: Effects of Higher Order Constraints and Implications for Representation
A fundamental problem in language comprehension is to obtain an accurate characterization of lexical processing and of the influence of contextual information upon that processing. This paper will examine evidence concerning the effects of so-called 'higher-order' constraints upon the various stages of lexical processing and will outline a model of the representation and processing of lexical m...
