Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the cortical areas involved in comprehending Korean regular and irregular verb Eojeols. Eojeols is the specific spacing unit of a sentence which is bigger than a word but smaller than phrase. This study showed that there is a distinction between the process and representation of regularly and irregularly inflected verbs in Korean using neuroimaging and hehavioral method.
