Document Summary
For this class, we assume that auxillaries are base generated in t in english. In french, we"re going with that they do move. In english, the tense and agreement move down to check, in french, the verb moves up to check with them. Speech = overt vocalization of what we call laguage vs. language = both speaking and understanding. No animal experiments, so much going on that it"s hard to say what"s what. One of the biggest problems with imaging it is that you have to move when you talk - all images will be influenced by movement (movement artifact) : internal speech, produce a program that minimizes this, use a brief stimulus (instead of a whole long story) Problems: behaviour of interest much be short, when discarding volumes, you lose some of the activity. If we increase the complexity of syntactic production, will we see a decrease in signal intensity in the left inferior frontal gyrus? (broca"s area)
