ABSTRACT
The 1990s saw an enormous increase in studies investigating the brain correlates of language processing. With the advent of techniques for in-vivo scanning of the human brain in action (e.g., PET, fMRI, MEG), we no longer need to rely on the experiments of nature in the form of a brain lesion, to study the relation between brain and language. One could thus argue that a solid bridge between psycholinguistics and neurobiology has been established. In addition to the classical behavioral measures such as reaction times, speech errors, acceptability ratings, etc., we are nowadays able to measure the neuronal responses that underlie specific language tasks. Psycholinguistics and neurobiology are on common ground, so one could think.
