“…Specifically, the left temporoparietal cortex appeared to be involved in processing sublexical units of Chinese characters (i.e., in mapping among orthography and phonology), while task difficulty was related to activities in a large network, including ventral occipitotemporal, inferior frontal cortices, middle frontal, and insula cortices. These findings are consistent with studies involving the reading of alphabetic words (Bolger, Hornickel, Cone, Burman, & Booth, 2008;Cattinelli, Borghese, Gallucci, & Paulesu, 2013;Fiez, Balota, Raichle, & Petersen, 1999).…”

“…(2) left inferior frontal and left insula are sensitive to effects of processing difficulty, such as word frequency and lexicality effects; and (3) left inferior parietal regions contribute to processing of orthography-to-phonology transformation, either via the grapheme-to-phoneme conversion roles in reading English words or via statistical relationships between phonetic radicals and pronunciations in reading Chinese characters (Cattinelli et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2011). In what follows, we discuss the functional implications of observed activity in these three regions.…”

“…It furthermore prevents orthographic mappings from reduplicating phonological knowledge that is already represented somewhere else in the readers' grammar/brain. Neurolinguistic studies on reading alphabetic orthographies support our proposal: during the reading process, a cluster in the left inferior parietal gyrus is activated, which is usually also involved in non-reading related, sub-lexical phonological processes (see the meta-analysis of existing neuroimaging studies by Cattinelli et al 2013). The assumed influence of phonological knowledge on the reading process furthermore predicts that a phonological deficit or difficulties in accessing phonological representations lead to problems in the acquisition of reading, which has been shown by studies on dyslexia (see e.g.…”

This study presents a formal generative model that integrates perception and reading, and uses English intervocalic consonants borrowed into Italian as either singletons or geminates to illustrate how the model works. Consisting of words borrowed in the 20th century, our data show that the quantity of the intervocalic consonant in an Italian loanword depends on its written representation in English, the source language. Thus only English intervocalic consonants that are written with two identical letters (for example, as in splatter) are borrowed as geminates. We provide a formalization of these orthographic adaptations with grapheme-to-phoneme mappings in the shape of Optimality-theoretic constraints that model the native reading process, and show how the output of these mappings is restricted by native phonotactic constraints. Furthermore, we illustrate that the native reading grammar proposed here complements the perceptual adaptation model by Boersma and Hamann (2009). This combined model is shown to be able to account for simultaneous orthographic and perceptual borrowings in Italian, as well as to hold for reading and perception outside the realm of loanword adaptation.

“…The broad structure of the underlying neural networks has been identified and accompanied by analyses of the functions of the different nodes in that network and their patterns of interconnectivity (see Cattinelli et al, 2013;DiCarlo et al, 2012;Martin, 2007;Price, 2012, for reviews). At the same time, a substantial body of work in cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics has shown that some objects and words are recognized and named consistently faster and with fewer errors than others, and has explored the contribution of factors such as age of acquisition, frequency, imageability and distinctiveness to generating those reliable differences (see Brysbaert and Cortese, 2011;Cortese and Schock, 2013;Davies et al, 2013;Juhasz, 2005).…”

Previous research using fMRI . Traces of vocabulary acquisition in the brain: evidence from covert object naming. NeuroImage 33,[958][959][960][961][962][963][964][965][966][967][968] found that AoA modulated the strength of BOLD responses in both occipital and left anterior temporal cortex during object naming. We used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to explore in more detail the nature of the influence of AoA on activity in those two regions. Covert object naming recruited a network within the left hemisphere that is familiar from previous research, including visual, left occipito-temporal, anterior temporal and inferior frontal regions. Region of interest (ROI) analyses found that occipital cortex generated a rapid evoked response (~ 75-200 ms at 0-40 Hz) that peaked at 95 ms but was not modulated by AoA. That response was followed by a complex of later occipital responses that extended from ~ 300 to 850 ms and were stronger to early-than late-acquired items from ~ 325 to 675 ms at 10-20 Hz in the induced rather than the evoked component. Left anterior temporal cortex showed an evoked response that occurred significantly later than the first occipital response (~ 100-400 ms at 0-10 Hz with a peak at 191 ms) and was stronger to early-than late-acquired items from ~ 100 to 300 ms at 2-12 Hz. A later anterior temporal response from ~ 550 to 1050 ms at 5-20 Hz was not modulated by AoA. The results indicate that the initial analysis of object forms in visual cortex is not influenced by AoA. A fastforward sweep of activation from occipital and left anterior temporal cortex t...
