Table 2.

Calculated t-contrasts for the different morpho-syntactic aspects.

fMRI contrasts
Exp. 1: healthy speakers Exp. 2: agrammatic speakers
Completeness Simple complete CLUs in the 3W-condition vs. simple CLUs that are incomplete due to a missing verb in the 3W-condition Simple complete CLUs vs. simple CLUs that are incomplete due to a missing verb
Complexity Complex complete CLUs in the NAT-condition vs. simple complete CLUs in the NAT-condition Only A1: complex complete CLUs vs. simple complete CLUs
Morphology Simple complete CLUs in the NAT-condition vs. simple complete CLUs with morphological errors in the 3W-condition Morphologically correct CLUs vs. CLUs with omission and/or substitution of closed class words
Morpho-syntactic planning Pauses/interjections between CLUs in the 3W-condition vs. pauses/interjections between CLUs in the NAT-condition No comparable contrast

Exp., experiment; CLU, clause-like unit; A1, patient A1.
