The Parallel Architecture—application and explanatory power for neurolinguistic research by Esther Odilia Breuer, Ferdinand Christoph Binkofski, Ferdinand Christoph Binkofski, Antonello Pellicano

“…Various linguistic models have been developed to systematize language processes and provide a structured framework for understanding the complex network of language production and reception. However, these models have often been developed in isolation from neurolinguistic research, which continues to provide new insights into the mental processes involved in language production and comprehension. …”

Frontotemporal dementia: peculiarities of clinical variants by B. Klimbytė, A. Vaitkus

“…Semantic variant presents with anomia, surface dyslexia, and single-word comprehension deficits, while non-fluent variant is characterized by apraxia of speech and agrammatism in language production. The heterogeneous clinical manifestations of FTD lead to diagnostic challenges in day-to-day clinical practice. …”

Language writ large: LLMs, ChatGPT, meaning, and understanding by Stevan Harnad

“…These convergent biases are related to (1) the parasitism of indirect verbal grounding on direct sensorimotor grounding, (2) the circularity of verbal definition, (3) the “mirroring” of language production and comprehension, (4) iconicity in propositions at LLM scale, (5) computational counterparts of human “categorical perception” in category learning by neural nets, and perhaps also (6) a conjecture by Chomsky about the laws of thought. …”

Taking Sides: An Integrative Review of the Impact of Laterality and Polarity on Efficacy of Therapeutic Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Anomia in Chronic Poststroke Ap... by Margaret Sandars, Lauren Cloutman, Anna M. Woollams

“…Anomia is a frequent and persistent symptom of poststroke aphasia, resulting from damage to areas of the brain involved in language production. Cortical neuroplasticity plays a significant role in language recovery following stroke and can be facilitated by behavioral speech and language therapy. …”

No three productions alike: Lexical variability, situated dynamics, and path dependence in task-based corpora by Shadrova Anna

“…In fact, its primary theoretical approaches appear to presuppose high population convergence on particular lexemes in language production. This is implied in several key concepts of phraseological and constructionist models, notably entrenchment, the principle of no synonymy, and the idiom principle, as well as the dominance of the statistical paradigm in the field. …”
