Abstract
ROSE is a rare example of a neurocomputational model of language that attempts, and partly manages, to align a formal theory of syntax and parsing with an oscillations-based 'neural code' that could implement the required operations. ROSE successfully reconciles hierarchical and predictive syntactic processing, but I argue that models of language in the brain should make room for the possibility that meaning may also be derived in the absence of any syntactic computation, be it hierarchical or predictive.
期刊介绍:
Cognitive Neuroscience publishes high quality discussion papers and empirical papers on any topic in the field of cognitive neuroscience including perception, attention, memory, language, action, social cognition, and executive function. The journal covers findings based on a variety of techniques such as fMRI, ERPs, MEG, TMS, and focal lesion studies. Contributions that employ or discuss multiple techniques to shed light on the spatial-temporal brain mechanisms underlying a cognitive process are encouraged.
