Top row: Cortical statistical maps comparing responses to the pragmatic violations (modeled from the onset of the critical word until the onset of the “?”) with responses to each of the other sentence types. Activation is displayed on an average left lateral cortical surface with light gray indicating the gyri, and dark gray indicating the sulci. Yellow-red: more activity to the pragmatic violations than to the other types of violations and the non-violated verbs. Blue: less activity to the pragmatic violations than to the other types of violations and the non-violated verbs. The circled cluster (1) indicates the left anterior inferior frontal gyrus that showed significantly more activity to the pragmatic violations in all three contrasts (cluster-level p < 0.05).

Bottom row: the left anterior inferior frontal gyrus was the only area that showed overlap between the yellow-red clusters in the three contrasts above.
