Brain plasticity in poststroke aphasia: what is the contribution of the right hemisphere?

abstract：:Prominence is the hierarchical relation among arguments that allows us to understand 'Who did what to whom' in a sentence. The present study aimed to provide evidence about the role of prominence information for the incremental interpretation of arguments in Spanish. We investigated the time course of neural correlate...
