摘要: In the declarative/procedural model of language, it assumes the semantic
words as declarative memories while the grammatical syntax as procedural rules,
whereas it is herein suggested that different words associate with different
cortical modalities, so that it is necessary to consider the modality
coordination of words episodic in meanings in sentences. In evidence, stuttering is intact on grammar but impaired on fluency, so that the dopaminergic system,
with antagonists alleviating and genes phenotyping stuttering, may involve
linguistic modality disorganization. Reversely, the gamma band correlates with
word congruency, so that the cholinergic projections may help cortical modality
coordination. There are present discourse deficits, so that story narration
also requires cortical modality coordination. In these respects, semantic
memory association, procedural grammar syntax and episodic modality
coordination interact to organize language from word to sentence to story, so
that it herein extends the present declarative/procedural model underlying two
kinds of neural processes to semantic/syntactic/episodic model of three kinds
of neural processes for depiction and simulation of language.
