  ABSTRACT: Syntactic processing of spoken speech often involves prosodic clues processing. In the present PET and ERP study, subjects listened to phrases in which different prosodic segmentation dramatically changed the meaning of the phrase. In the contrast of segmented vs. non-segmented phrases, PET data revealed activation in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and in the right cerebellum. These brain structures, therefore, might be part of the syntactic analysis network involved in prosodic segmentation and pitch processing. ERP results revealed frontal negativity that was sensitive to the position of the segmenting pause, possibly reflecting prosody-based semantic prediction. The present results are discussed in the context of their relation to brain networks of emotions, prosody, and syntax perception.

  ABSTRACT: Positron emission tomography (PET) was used to localize the brain regions involved in the processing of pauses and intonation changes, which underlie the syntactically correct perception of auditory verbal stimuli. Subjects were asked to listen to a phrase and to choose a correct answer from two variants presented on a monitor screen. Differences in cerebral blood circulation were mapped for perception of phrases containing or lacking a pause determining the meaning. Conscious analysis of the phrase structure was associated with activation of the right lower prefrontal area and the right posterior medial area of the cerebellum. The possible role of these brain structures in analyzing factors of syntagmatic splitting is discussed.
