The road less traveled: Alternative pathways for action-verb processing in Parkinson’s disease
(Elsevier, 2019)
Introduction: Relative to other lexical units, action verbs distinctively involve activations along motor brain networks. In movement disorders, damage to the latter is associated with difficulties to access such words. ...
Progressive compromise of nouns and action verbs in posterior cortical atrophy.
Processing of nouns and action verbs can be differentially compromised following lesions to posterior and anterior/motor brain regions, respectively. However, little is known about how these deficits progress in the course ...
Unspeakable motion: Selective action-verb impairments in Parkinson’s disease patients without mild cognitive impairment
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2017-05)
Parkinson´s disease (PD) patients show marked impairments in processing action verbs, and to a lesser extent, concrete (specially, manipulable) nouns. However, it is still unclear to what extent deficits in each of these ...
Action-verb processing in Parkinson’s disease: new pathways for motor–language coupling
(Springer Heidelberg, 2013-02)
Recent studies suggest that action-verb processing is particularly affected in early stage Parkinson´s disease (PD), highlighting the potential role of subcortical areas in language processing and in the semantic integration ...
A cognitive approach to the teaching of phrasal verbs to EFL adult learners in blended courses
(2021)
The present action-research case study addressed the issue of phrasal verb learning in an EFL context.
It aimed to evaluate the impact of a Cognitive Linguistics (CL) teaching methodology on students'
retention of novel ...
Progressive compromise of nouns and action verbs in posterior cortical atrophy
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018-08)
Processing of nouns and action verbs can be differentially compromised following lesions to posterior and anterior/motor brain regions, respectively. However, little is known about how these deficits progress in the course ...
Syntax, action verbs, action semantics, and object semantics in Parkinson's disease: Dissociability, progression, and executive influences
(Elsevier Masson, 2015-08)
Several studies have recently shown that basal ganglia (BG) deterioration leads to distinctive impairments in the domains of syntax, action verbs, and action semantics. In particular, such disruptions have been repeatedly ...
As causativas sintéticas do português brasileiro de acordo com o modelo minimalista
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2014-06-05)
The goal of this work is to analyze synthetic causative structures formed from transitive verbs in contemporary Brazilian Portuguese. In the present research, we have used the studies of Chomsky (1981, 1999, 2002) until ...
Words in motion: Motor-language coupling in Parkinson's disease
(Springer, 2014-05)
A growing body of evidence indicates that neurodegenerative motor disorders involved high-order cognitive dysfunctions. Crucially, evidence obtained in multiple behavioral, neuroimaging, and electrophysiological studies ...
Muscle activation in semantic processing: An electromyography approach
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
