Summary/Abstract: This paper highlights two developments in neurocognition: Pulvermüller’s (1999) approach to representing word meaning and Van der Velde and de Kamps’s (2006) idea of accounting for the combinatorial nature of language through implementing a neural version of argument structure. The paper will also briefly review the notion of argument structure from a linguistic, theoretical perspective.
