Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated the neural substrates involved in the inference processes of communicative intention such as metaphor, irony, indirect speech acts and joke using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Our findings indicate that the right and left fronto-temporal networks (BA 45/47 and 21) play a crucial role in detecting contextual violations, whereas the medial frontal cortex isimportant for generating inferences to make sense of remarks within a context.
