DOI: 10.1002/hbm.24403
Abstract: Humans have a striking capacity to combine words into sentences that express new meanings. Previous research has identified key brain regions involved in this capacity, but little is known about the time course of activity… read more here.

Fronto‐insular‐parietal network engagement underlying arithmetic word problem solving

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.24502
Abstract: Mathematical word problems are ubiquitous and standard for teaching and evaluating generalization of mathematical knowledge for real‐world contexts. It is therefore concerning that the neural mechanisms of word problem solving are not well understood, as… read more here.

Differential contributions of inferior frontal gyrus subregions to sentence processing guided by intonation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Human Brain Mapping"
DOI: 10.1002/hbm.26086
Abstract: Auditory sentence comprehension involves processing content (semantics), grammar (syntax), and intonation (prosody). The left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) is involved in sentence comprehension guided by these different cues, with neuroimaging studies preferentially locating syntactic and… read more here.

MKPM: Multi keyword-pair matching for natural language sentences
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Applied Intelligence"
DOI: 10.1007/s10489-021-02306-5
Abstract: Sentence matching is widely used in various natural language tasks, such as natural language inference, paraphrase identification and question answering. For these tasks, we need to understand the logical and semantic relationship between two sentences.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10670-020-00335-z
Abstract: In this paper I present how the normative inferentialist can make the distinction between sentence meaning and content of the utterance. The inferentialist can understand sentence meaning as a role conferred to that sentence by… read more here.

Psychophysiological approach to the Liar paradox: Jean Buridan’s virtual entailment principle put to the test

DOI: 10.1007/s11229-019-02107-x
Abstract: This article presents an empirical examination of the consequences of the virtual entailment principle proposed by Jean Buridan to resolve the Liar paradox. This principle states that every sentence in natural language implicitly asserts its… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12530-018-9246-8
Abstract: Summary is the meaningful concise version of a text document. Generally existing statistical, knowledge based and discourse based extractive summarization methods use sentence similarity to extract informative sentences. This paper presents an innovative application of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40961-017-0109-7
Abstract: The liar paradox, attributed to Eubulides, a fifth century BC Greek philosopher, has been debated over two millennia. In the history of philosophy, various attempts have been made to resolve and dissolve the paradox. Nevertheless,… read more here.

Sentence context influences the subjective perception of foreign accents.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2016.11.011
Abstract: We examined whether sentence context (the predictability of the final word) influences listeners' ratings of foreign-accented words. Previous work has demonstrated that accent manipulations affect listeners' processing of spoken language. We examined the converse of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bandc.2021.105775
Abstract: Understanding the neural processes underlying the comprehension of visual images and sentences remains a major open challenge in cognitive neuroscience. We previously demonstrated with fMRI and DTI that comprehension of visual images and sentences describing… read more here.

Independent syntactic representation identified in left front-temporal cortex during Chinese sentence comprehension

DOI: 10.1016/j.bandl.2021.104907
Abstract: It has been well established that syntactic representation is independent of semantic representation in Indo-European languages, but it is unclear whether this is the case in Chinese. The present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study… read more here.
