C)semantic; parsing
D)frontal; temporal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Levelt proposes that there are two levels of representation for words: the lexeme level (word form) and the lemma level (grammatical properties). Information-specific networks exist for each level, with the lexeme level being represented in temporal regions and the lemma level being represented in frontal regions of the brain. Thus, option B is the correct answer as it refers to the correct levels of representation for word forms and grammatical properties. Option A refers to two event-related potential (ERP) components that reflect processing difficulties at the level of meaning and syntax respectively. Option C refers to two broad categories of language processing, but does not specify the levels of representation being discussed by Levelt. Option D refers to brain regions, but does not specify the levels of representation being discussed by Levelt.
