In this article, we will focus on three fundamental issues concerning language processing in the human brain, and update recent advances made by functional neuroimaging and magnetic stimulation studies of language. First, we will provide the first experimental evidence that the neural basis of sentence comprehension is indeed specialized. Specifically, our recent functional magnetic resonance i...

We define the family of n-gram embeddings from strings over a finite alphabet into the semimodule N . We classify all ∈ N that are valid images of strings under such embeddings, as well as all whose inverse image consists of exactly 1 string (we call such uniquely decodable). We prove that for a fixed alphabet, the set of all strings whose image is uniquely decodable is a regular language. © 20...

High-density electroencephalography was used to evaluate cortical activity during speech comprehension via a sentence verification task. Twenty-four participants assigned true or false to sentences produced with 3 noise-vocoded channel levels (1--unintelligible, 6--decipherable, 16--intelligible), during simultaneous EEG recording. Participant data were sorted into higher- (HP) and lower-perfor...

Considering that the present-day Croatian still frequently fails to have the exact translational equivalents for the novel ideas developed and disseminated via metalinguistic Eurospeak, the paper adopts and employs an unorthodox scientific method to refer to an articulated correlation between a conceptual framework theorized (i.e., the noninvasive library digitization projects pertaining to the...

We introduce the "$type{lffs}$ subdirect product" and show that every ring is uniquely a $type{lffs}$ subdirect product of a family of $simple{basicls}$ rings. Also we show some applications.
