@article{Tan2001TheNS, title={The Neural System Underlying Chinese Logograph Reading}, author={L. Tan and H. Liu and C. Perfetti and J. Spinks and J. Gao}, journal={NeuroImage}, year={2001}, volume={13}, pages={836-846} }
Written Chinese as logographic script differs notably from alphabets such as English in visual form, orthography, phonology, and semantics. Thus, research on the Chinese language is important to advance our understanding of the universality and particularity of the organization of language systems in the brain. In this study, we examine the neural systems associated with logographic reading using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Two experimental tasks were devised, one based on semantic… Expand
