An fMRI study of syntactic layers: Sentential and lexical aspects of embedding
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The results show that sentential embedding, even without syntactic movement, loads onto several cortical resources including the left IFG, indicating that the generation of syntactic layers is cognitively costly, and that embedding affects processing at both the sentence and the lexical levels.
