Neuropsychological evidence for the distinction between grammatically relevant and irrelevant components of meaning
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2003
Abstract:
Jackendoff (2002) argues that grammatically relevant and irrelevant components of meaning do not occupy distinct levels of the semantic system. However, neuropsychological studies have found that the two components doubly dissociate in brain-damaged subjects, suggesting that they are in fact segregated. Neural regionalization of these multidimensional semantic subsystems might take place during language development.
