“…On the one hand, investigations of patients with brain damage have revealed that lesions to many different parts of the language system can cause similar syntactic comprehension difficulties. Such regions include Broca’s region in the inferior frontal gyrus (e.g., Caramazza & Zurif, 1976; Schwartz, Saffran, & Marin, 1980; Caplan & Futter, 1986; Zurif, Swinney, Prather, Solomon, & Bushell, 1993; Grodzinsky, 2000), the arcuate fasciculus and/or the extreme capsule (e.g., Caramazza & Zurif, 1976; Papoutsi, Stamatakis, Griffiths, Marslen-Wilson, & Tyler, 2011; Rolheiser, Stamatakis, & Tyler, 2011; Tyler et al , 2011; Wilson et al , 2011), posterior temporal regions (e.g., Samuels & Benson, 1979; Selnes, Knopman, Niccum, Rubens, & Larson, 1983; Basso, Lecours, Moraschini, & Vanier, 1985; Tramo, Baynes, & Volpe, 1988; Caplan et al , 1996; Bastiaanse & Edwards, 2004; Wilson & Saygin, 2004; Amici et al , 2007; Tyler et al , 2011; Thothathiri, Kimberg, & Schwartz, 2012), and anterior temporal regions (e.g., Dronkers, Wilkins, Van Valin, Redfern, & Jaeger, 1994; Dronkers, Wilkins, Van Valin, Redfern, & Jaeger, 2004; Magnusdottir et al , 2013). For instance, lesions in all of these regions can impair the interpretation of semantically reversible sentences, such as , whose meanings (who did what to whom) depend on their syntactic form (i.e., word order, function words, and functional morphology).…”
