title: Approach to functional magnetic resonance imaging of language based on models of language organization.
abstract: Functional MR imaging (fMRI) has been a useful tool in the evaluation of language both in normal individuals and patient populations. The purpose of this article is to use various models of language as a framework to review fMRI studies. Specifically, fMRI language studies are subdivided into the following categories: word generation or fluency, passive listening, orthography, phonology, semantics, and syntax.
