This study examines the neural mechanisms behind integrating syntactic and information structures during sentence comprehension using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Focusing on Japanese sentences with canonical (SOV) and non-canonical (OSV) word orders, the study revealed distinct neural networks responsible for processing these linguistic structures. The left opercular part of the inferior frontal gyrus, left premotor area, and left posterior superior/middle temporal gyrus were primarily involved in syntactic processing. In contrast, the right inferior frontal sulcus, bilateral intraparietal sulci, and the left triangular part of the inferior frontal gyrus were linked to information structure processing. Importantly, the left opercular part of the inferior frontal gyrus (BA44) played a crucial role in integrating these structures during the later stages of comprehension, particularly when processing the second noun phrase. These findings enhance our understanding of the complex interplay between syntactic and information structures in language comprehension.
本研究利用功能磁共振成像技术探讨句子理解过程中句法结构与信息结构整合的神经机制。该研究聚焦于具有规范词序(SOV)和非规范词序(OSV)的日语句子,揭示了处理这些语言结构的不同神经网络。左侧额下回的左眼部、左侧运动前区和左侧颞后上/中回主要参与句法加工。相比之下,右侧额下沟、双侧顶内沟和左侧额下回的三角形部分与信息结构加工有关。重要的是,额下回的左眼部分(BA44)在理解的后期阶段,特别是在处理第二个名词短语时,在整合这些结构方面发挥了至关重要的作用。这些发现增强了我们对语言理解中句法结构和信息结构之间复杂相互作用的理解。

Sleep and language are fundamental to human existence and have both been shown to substantially affect cognitive functioning including memory, attentional performance, and cognitive control. Surprisingly, there is little-to-no research that examines the shared impact of bilingualism and sleep on cognitive functions. In this paper, we provide a general overview of existing research on the interplay between bilingualism and sleep with a specific focus on executive functioning. First, we highlight their interconnections and the resulting implications for cognitive performance. Second, we emphasize the need to explore how bilingualism and sleep intersect at cognitive and neural levels, offering insights into potential ways of studying the interplay between sleep, language learning, and bilingual language use. Finally, we suggest that understanding these relationships could enhance our knowledge of reserve and its role in mitigating age-related cognitive decline.
睡眠和语言是人类生存的基础,它们都被证明对认知功能有重大影响,包括记忆、注意力表现和认知控制。令人惊讶的是,几乎没有研究考察双语和睡眠对认知功能的共同影响。在本文中,我们提供了一个关于双语和睡眠之间相互作用的现有研究的总体概述,并特别关注执行功能。首先,我们强调了它们之间的相互联系以及由此产生的对认知表现的影响。其次,我们强调有必要探索双语和睡眠在认知和神经水平上的相互作用,为研究睡眠、语言学习和双语语言使用之间的相互作用提供潜在的方法。最后,我们建议理解这些关系可以增强我们对储备的认识及其在减轻与年龄相关的认知衰退中的作用。

Our current understanding of how linguistic concepts are represented and retrieved in the brain is largely based on studies using concrete language, and only few studies have focused on the neural correlates of abstract concepts. The role of the motor system, besides the classical language network, has been intensively discussed in action-related concrete concepts. To advance our understanding of spatiotemporal dynamics underlying abstract concept processing, our study investigated to what extent language and motor regions are engaged in the processing of abstract concepts vs. concrete concepts. We used concrete, metaphorical, and abstract phrases as stimuli, creating a graded continuum of abstractness. Neuromagnetic signals were recorded from 26 Chinese native speakers using a 306-channel whole-head magnetoencephalography (MEG) system. Cluster-based permutation F-tests were carried out on the amplitude of source waveform for individual language and motor regions of interest (ROIs) in the three consecutive time-windows (200–300, 300–400, and 400–500 ms). Results showed that, compared with concrete and metaphorical phrases, abstract phrases evoked significantly weaker activation in the left posterior part of superior temporal sulcus (STS) at 200–300 ms, and significantly stronger activation in the left anterior temporal pole (TP) at 300–400 ms. We found no significant differences in the involvement of motor ROIs across conditions. Our results suggest that concrete concept processing engages more the posterior STS in an earlier time window, while abstract concept processing relies more strongly on the anterior TP in a later time window. Results are discussed by revisiting the ATL (anterior temporal lobe)-hub hypothesis and the novel definition of concrete and abstract concepts.
我们目前对语言概念如何在大脑中表征和检索的理解主要基于使用具体语言的研究,只有少数研究关注抽象概念的神经关联。除了经典的语言网络外,运动系统的作用也在与动作相关的具体概念中得到了深入的讨论。为了进一步了解抽象概念加工背后的时空动态,本研究调查了语言和运动区域在抽象概念和具体概念加工中的参与程度。我们使用具体的、隐喻的和抽象的短语作为刺激,创造了抽象性的分级连续体。采用306通道全头脑磁图(MEG)系统记录26例汉语母语者的神经磁信号。在连续的三个时间窗(200- 300ms、300- 400ms和400- 500ms)中,对单个语言和运动感兴趣区域(roi)的源波形幅度进行了基于聚类的排列f检验。结果表明,相对于具体短语和隐喻短语,抽象短语在200-300 ms时诱发的左侧颞上沟后部(STS)激活显著减弱,而在300-400 ms时诱发的左侧颞前极(TP)激活显著增强。我们发现不同条件下运动roi的参与没有显著差异。我们的研究结果表明,在较早的时间窗口中,具体概念加工更多地依赖于后路STS,而在较晚的时间窗口中,抽象概念加工更多地依赖于前路TP。通过重新审视ATL(前颞叶)-中枢假说和具体和抽象概念的新定义来讨论结果。

The impact of speaker accent on discourse processing: A frequency investigation 说话者重音对语篇加工的影响:频率调查。

Previous studies indicate differences in native and foreign speech processing (Lev-Ari, 2018), with mixed evidence for differences between dialectal and foreign accent processing (Adank et al., 2009, Floccia et al., 2006, Floccia et al., 2009, Girard et al., 2008). Two theories have been proposed: The Perceptual Distance Hypothesis suggests that dialectal accent processing is an attenuated version of foreign accent processing (Clarke & Garrett, 2004), while the Different Processes Hypothesis argues that foreign and dialectal accents are processed via distinct mechanisms (Floccia, Butler, Girard, & Goslin, 2009). A recent single-word ERP study suggested flexibility in these mechanisms (Thomas, Martin, & Caffarra, 2022). The present study deepens this investigation by investigating differences in native, dialectal, and foreign accent processing across frequency bands during extended speech. Electroencephalographic data was recorded from 30 participants who listened to dialogues of approximately six minutes spoken in native, dialectal and foreign accents. Power spectral density estimation (1–35 Hz) was performed. Linear mixed models were done in frequency windows of particular relevance to discourse processing. Frequency bands associated with phoneme [gamma], syllable [theta], and prosody [delta] were considered along with those of general cognitive mechanisms [alpha and beta]. Results show power differences in the Gamma frequency range. While in higher frequency ranges foreign accent processing is differentiated from power amplitudes of native and dialectal accent processing, in low frequencies we do not see any accent-related power amplitude modulations. This suggests that there may be a difference in phoneme processing for native accent types and foreign accent, while we speculate that top-down mechanisms during discourse processing may mitigate the effects observed with short units of speech.
先前的研究表明,母语和外语语音处理存在差异(Lev-Ari, 2018),而方言和外国口音处理存在差异的证据并不一致(Adank, Evans, Stuart-Smith, & Scott, 2009;絮团等,2006,2009;吉拉德,弗洛西亚,戈斯林,2008)。目前提出了两种理论:知觉距离假说认为方言口音加工是外国口音加工的弱化版本(Clarke & Garrett, 2004),而不同过程假说认为外国口音和方言口音是通过不同的机制加工的(cia, Butler, Girard, & Goslin, 2009)。最近的一项单字ERP研究表明,这些机制具有灵活性(Thomas, Martin, & Caffarra, 2022)。本研究通过对扩展言语中不同频带的本地口音、方言口音和外国口音加工的差异进行了深入的研究。研究人员记录了30名参与者的脑电图数据,他们听了大约6分钟的母语、方言和外国口音对话。进行功率谱密度估计(1 ~ 35 Hz)。线性混合模型是在与话语处理特别相关的频率窗口中完成的。与音素[γ]、音节[θ]和韵律[δ]相关的频带与一般认知机制[α和β]一起被考虑。结果显示了伽马频率范围内的功率差异。虽然在较高的频率范围内,外国口音处理与本地口音和方言口音处理的功率幅度有所区别,但在低频范围内,我们没有看到任何与口音相关的功率幅度调制。这表明,本地口音和外国口音的音素加工可能存在差异,而我们推测,话语加工过程中的自上而下机制可能会减轻在短语音单位中观察到的影响。

This study presents an examination of the neural connectivity associated with processing speech in noisy environments, an ability that declines with age. We correlated subjects’ speech-in-noise (SIN) ability with resting-state MRI scans and Fractional Anisotropy (FA) values from the auditory section of the corpus callosum, both with and without correcting for age. The results revealed that subjects who performed poorly on the right ear SIN test (QuickSIN, MedRx) had higher correlations between the primary auditory cortex and regions of the brain that process language. Subjects who performed well on the QuickSIN test had stronger correlations bilaterally between the primary auditory cortices, however, this finding was due to age. Likewise, FA values seem best explained by age not SIN. The Ig2 region of the insula showed significant correlation with right ear SIN when correcting for age.
这项研究展示了在嘈杂环境中处理语音的神经连通性,这种能力随着年龄的增长而下降。我们将受试者的噪声中语音(SIN)能力与静息状态MRI扫描和胼胝体听觉部分的分数各向异性(FA)值相关联,无论是否校正年龄。结果显示,在右耳SIN测试(QuickSIN, MedRx)中表现不佳的受试者,初级听觉皮层和大脑中处理语言的区域之间的相关性更高。在QuickSIN测试中表现良好的受试者在初级听觉皮层之间有更强的相关性,然而,这一发现是由于年龄。同样,FA值似乎最好由年龄而不是SIN来解释。校正年龄后,岛岛Ig2区域与右耳SIN呈显著相关。

Spoken language experience influences brain responses to sound, but it is unclear whether this neuroplasticity is limited to speech frequencies (>100 Hz) or also affects lower gamma ranges (∼30–60 Hz). Using the frequency-following response (FFR), a far-field phase-locked response to sound, we explore whether bilingualism influences the location of the strongest response in the gamma range. Our results indicate that the strongest gamma response for bilinguals is most often at 43 Hz, compared to 51 Hz for monolinguals. Using a computational model, we show how this group difference could result from differential subcortical activation. These results shed light on the well-known but under-explored variability observed in the gamma range and highlight that FFRs are a composite of neural activity from both subcortical and cortical sources. Additionally, our findings emphasize that individual auditory experiences can uniquely shape subcortical activation, influencing FFRs below speech frequencies.
口语经验会影响大脑对声音的反应,但尚不清楚这种神经可塑性是否仅限于语音频率(bb0 - 100hz)或也影响较低的伽马范围(~ 30- 60hz)。利用频率跟随响应(FFR),一种对声音的远场锁相响应,我们探索双语是否会影响伽马范围内最强响应的位置。我们的研究结果表明,双语者最强烈的伽马反应通常在43赫兹,而单语者为51赫兹。使用计算模型,我们展示了这种组间差异是如何由不同的皮层下激活引起的。这些结果揭示了在伽马范围内观察到的众所周知但未被充分探索的变异性,并强调ffr是皮层下和皮层源的神经活动的复合。此外,我们的研究结果强调,个体听觉体验可以独特地塑造皮层下激活,影响语音频率以下的ffr。

The effects of word frequency and predictability are informative with respect to bottom-up and top-down mechanisms during reading. Word frequency is assumed to index bottom-up, whereas word predictability top-down information. Findings regarding potential interactive effects, however, are inconclusive. An interactive effect would suggest an early lexical impact of contextual top-down mechanisms where both variables are processed concurrently in early stages of word recognition. An additive effect, to the contrary, would suggest that contextual top-down processing only occurs post-lexically. We evaluated potential interactions between word frequency and predictability during silent reading by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging and simultaneous eye-tracking (i.e., fixation-related fMRI). Our data revealed exclusively additive effects. Specifically, we observed effects of word frequency and word predictability in left inferior frontal regions, whereas word frequency additionally exhibited an effect in the left occipito-temporal cortex. We interpret our findings in terms of contextual top-down processing facilitation.
词频和可预测性对阅读过程中自下而上和自上而下机制的影响具有信息性。假设词频是自下而上的索引,而词的可预测性是自上而下的信息。然而,关于潜在相互作用的发现尚无定论。互动效应表明上下文自上而下机制的早期词汇影响,其中两个变量在单词识别的早期阶段同时处理。相反,累加效应表明上下文自上而下的处理只发生在词汇之后。我们通过功能磁共振成像和同步眼动追踪(即注视相关的fMRI)评估了默读时词频和可预测性之间的潜在相互作用。我们的数据只显示了加性效应。具体来说,我们观察到词频和单词可预见性对左额叶下区有影响,而词频对左枕颞叶皮层也有影响。我们从情境自上而下的加工促进的角度来解释我们的发现。

Blind listeners rely more on their auditory skills than the sighted to adapt to unavailable visual information. However, it is still unclear whether the blind has stronger noise-related modulation compared with the sighted when speech is presented under adverse listening conditions. This study aims to address this research gap by constructing noisy conditions and syllable contrasts to obtain auditory middle-latency response (MLR) and long-latency response (LLR) in blind and sighted adults. We found that blind people showed higher MLR (Na, Nb, and Pa) and N1 amplitudes compared with sighted, while this phenomenon was not observed for mismatch negativity (MMN) during auditory discrimination in both quiet and noisy backgrounds, which might eventually affect stream segregation and facilitate the understanding of speech in complex environments, contributing to their more sensitive speech detection ability of blind people. These results had important implications regarding the interpretation of noise-induced changes in the early encoding of speech in blind people.
盲人听众比正常人更依赖他们的听觉技能来适应无法获得的视觉信息。然而,当语音在不利的听力条件下呈现时,盲人是否比正常人有更强的噪声相关调制尚不清楚。本研究旨在通过构建噪声条件和音节对比来获得盲人和视力正常的成年人的听觉中潜伏期反应(MLR)和长潜伏期反应(LLR),以弥补这一研究空白。我们发现,盲人的MLR (Na、Nb和Pa)和N1幅值高于正常人,而在安静和嘈杂背景下的听觉辨别过程中,失配负性(MMN)没有出现这种现象,这可能最终影响了流分离,促进了复杂环境下的语音理解,从而使盲人的语音检测能力更加敏感。这些结果对于解释盲人早期语音编码中噪声引起的变化具有重要意义。

Word and morpheme frequency effects in naming Mandarin Chinese compounds: More than a replication 汉语普通话化合物命名中的词频和词素频率效应:不仅仅是复制。

The question whether compound words are stored in our mental lexicon in a decomposed or full-listing way prompted Janssen and colleagues (2008) to investigate the representation of compounds using word and morpheme frequencies manipulations. Our study replicated their study using a new set of stimuli from a spoken corpus and incorporating EEG data for a more detailed investigation. In the current study, despite ERP analyses revealing no word frequency or morpheme frequency effects across conditions, behavioral outcomes indicated that Mandarin compounds are not sensitive to word frequency. Instead, the response times highlighted a morpheme frequency effect in naming Mandarin compounds, which contrasted with the findings of Janssen and colleagues. These findings challenge the full-listing model and instead support the decompositional model.
复合词是以分解还是全列的方式存储在我们的心理词典中,这一问题促使 Janssen 及其同事(2008 年)使用词和语素频率操作来研究复合词的表征。我们的研究复制了他们的研究,使用了一组来自口语语料库的新刺激,并结合脑电图数据进行了更详细的调查。在目前的研究中,尽管ERP分析表明在不同条件下没有词频或语素频率效应,但行为结果表明普通话复合词对词频并不敏感。相反,在命名普通话化合物时,反应时间凸显了语素频率效应,这与 Janssen 及其同事的研究结果形成了鲜明对比。这些发现对全列模式提出了质疑,而支持分解模式。
