We are interested in how semantic, discourse and morpho-syntactic combinatorial processes are integrated at the representational, processing and neurological levels. We are also interested in how these processes connect with other cognitive capacities such as memory. To this end, we capitalize on evidence from language deficits, neuroimaging techniques (in particular fMRI) and real-time processing techniques such as cross-modal lexical decision (auditory task) and self-paced reading. The phenomena we focus on include argument structure, anaphora resolution and so-called "enriched composition"
