Are concepts expressed in language also represented spatially? To pursue this question we investigated the structure of events. Events are defined as actions with spatial trajectories that can be perceived by our senses and described in language. Events are expressed linguistically in sentences containing verbs which determine the thematic roles of the arguments (e.g., who is doing what to whom...

We propose to develop an understanding of the basic principles that give sustenance and consistency to the comprehension of a historic structure, under axles of thematic structure. In this case, the thematic structure is based in a disciplinary approach, in which some of the basic scientific disciplines [astronomy, physics, chemistry, geology, biology and social sciences (anthropology, history,...

The effects of plausibility of thematic role assignment and syntactic structure on blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal were studied using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging by orthogonally varying syntactic structure (subject-vs. object-extracted relative clauses) and the plausibility of nouns playing thematic roles (constrained vs. unconstrained sentences) in a pla...

2 Abstract A fundamental task of the language comprehension system is to assign thematic roles to concepts in sentences and then maintain them. The comprehension system has access to two sources of information for thematic roles: one is the syntactic structure, and the other is information in long-term memory. In a sentence such as the dog was bitten by the man, the syntactic source specifies t...

Sentence comprehension involves timely computing different types of relations between its verbs and noun arguments, such as morphosyntactic, semantic, and thematic relations. Here, we used EEG technique to investigate the potential differences in thematic role computing and lexical-semantic relatedness processing during on-line sentence comprehension, and the interaction between these two types...
