Cortical tracking of hierarchical linguistic structures in connected speech
2016
Language consists of a hierarchy of linguistic units: words, phrases and sentences. The authors explore whether and how these abstract linguistic units are represented in the brain during speech comprehension. They find that cortical rhythms track the timescales of these linguistic units, revealing a hierarchy of neural processing timescales underlying internal construction of hierarchical linguistic structure.
