The Structure and Statistics of Language Jointly Shape Cross-frequency Neural Dynamics During Spoken Language Comprehension

Abstract:Humans excel at extracting structurally-determined meaning from speech, despite the inherent physical variability of spoken language (e.g., background noise, speaker variability, accents). One way to achieve such perceptual robustness is for the brain to predict its sensory input and, to some extent, the linguistic content, based on its internal states. However, the combinatorial nature of language, which on one hand endows language with its unboundedness and expressive power, also renders prediction over a se… Show more
