Grammatical knowledge vs. syntactic processing in the human brain
In: http://cuny2012.commons.gc.cuny.edu/files/2012/03/cuny2012_98.pdf
Abstract: Caramazza & Zurif (1976) demonstrated that Broca’s aphasics have difficulty understanding semantically reversible constructions where word order is the primary cue to meaning. Subsequent neuroimaging investigations have reported activations in the posterior parts of the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) and anterior insula/frontal operculum for syntactic complexity contrasts (e.g., Stromswold et al., 1996; Ben-Shachar et al., 2003). However, three sets of findings are problematic for the notion that Broca’s area is the “seat of syntax”. First, using a grammaticality judgment task Linebarger et al. (1983) demonstrated that syntactic knowledge is largely preserved in Broca’s aphasics. Second, the ability to process syntactically complex structures has been linked to non-linguistic abilities, like general working memory (e.g., King & Just, 1991; Gordon et al., 2002; Fedorenko et al., 2006). And third, contrasts between structured (e.g., sentences) vs. unstructured (e.g., lists of words) stimuli activate brain regions that appear to be non-overlapping with the brain regions where syntactic complexity effects typically arise (e.g., Fedorenko et al., 2010).In fact, regions sensitive to syntactic complexity respond more strongly during the processing of word lists than sentences (Fedorenko et al., in prep.). We argue that linguistic processing is accomplished by the joint engagement of two functionally and computationally distinct brain systems: i) “language regions ” on the lateral surfaces of left frontal and temporal lobes that appear to be functionally specialized for linguistic processing, showing no response to working memory
