TLDR
The findings suggest that syntactic and semantic contribution to phrasal formation can be already differentiated at a very basic level, with each of these two processes comprising non-overlapping areas on the cerebral cortex.About:

The neural basis of combinatory syntax and semantics
Liina Pylkkänen,Liina Pylkkänen +1 more
TL;DR: How language builds meaning is discussed and directions for future neurobiological research on the combinatory system are laid out.

Bilingual language processing: A meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies.

TL;DR: Results show that surprisingly, compared to L2, lexico-semantic processing in L1 involves a widespread system of cortico-subcortical regions, especially when L2 is acquired later in life, and points to a shared neural network for L1 and L2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lack of selectivity for syntax relative to word meanings throughout the language network.
TL;DR: Contrary to many current proposals of the neural architecture of language, syntactic/combinatorial processing is not separable from lexico-semantic processing at the level of brain regions-or even voxel subsets-within the language network, in line with strong integration between these two processes that has been consistently observed in behavioral and computational language research.

Neural dynamics of semantic composition.

TL;DR: Focusing on the verb-DO noun relationship in simple spoken sentences, multivariate pattern analysis and computational semantic modeling is applied to source-localized electro/magnetoencephalographic data to map out the specific representational constraints that are constructed as each word is heard, and to determine how these constraints guide the interpretation of subsequent words in the utterance.

TL;DR: An inventory of 20 items with a set of instructions and response- and computational-conventions is proposed and the results obtained from a young adult population numbering some 1100 individuals are reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general approach that accommodates most forms of experimental layout and ensuing analysis (designed experiments with fixed effects for factors, covariates and interaction of factors).

The Minimalist Program
TL;DR: This twentieth-anniversary edition reissues Noam Chomsky's classic work The Minimalist Program with a new preface by the author, which emphasizes that the minimalist approach developed in the book and in subsequent work "is a program, not a theory."

The faculty of language: what is it, who has it, and how did it evolve?
TL;DR: It is argued that an understanding of the faculty of language requires substantial interdisciplinary cooperation and how current developments in linguistics can be profitably wedded to work in evolutionary biology, anthropology, psychology, and neuroscience is suggested.
