DESCRIPTION:Language comprehension engages functionally distinct large-sca
 le brain networks in both hemispheres. We use functional neuroimaging and 
 multivariate analysis techniques to investigate the processing capacities 
 of these networks. Data show that a distributed bilateral network has exte
 nsive processing capacities\, with the ability to support the processing o
 f simple words\, perceptually complex words\, derivationally complex words
 \, as well as simple phrases that require linear grammatical computations.
  The left hemisphere perisylvian network is associated with complex gramma
 tical computations. This is consistent with a dual neurobiological framewo
 rk of language processing\, where significant capacities for language comp
 rehension remain intact even following severe left hemisphere damage.
