The paper investigates hierarchical syntactic planning in speech production using SEEG recordings, finding that core syntactic categories are planned before modifiers and that the hippocampus contributes to sentence structure building.

The paper compares event cognition in humans, great apes, and infants, finding that adults and apes track events as agent-patient relations, while infants do not.

The paper investigates how the prosodic hierarchy is represented in the brain using EEG, finding that neural entrainment and phase-amplitude coupling reflect the hierarchical structure of speech.
