摘要：Previous studies of sentence processing indicate a left temporo-frontal network for syntactic processing andbilateral temporo-frontal networks for semantic processing (Friederici, 2011). Lesion studies also supportinvolvement of both anterior and posterior regions for sentence comprehension (Dronkers et al., 2004, Caplanet al., 2007). In addition, both normal and lesion studies suggest temporoparietal regions for argumentstructure processing (Thompson & Meltzer-Asscher, in Press). To date, however, the majority of this work hasfocused on sentence comprehension, with a paucity of studies examining sentence production. In this study weexamined the relationship between topographic and volumetric aspects of brain lesions and verb, argumentstructure, and sentence production deficits in 31 subjects with stroke-induced aphasia.
