| Introduction | There have been a variety of approaches from different scientific communities trying to characterize semantic representations . |
| Introduction | Recent advances in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provide a significant new approach to studying semantic representations in humans by making it possible to directly observe brain activity while people comprehend words and sentences. |
| Introduction | Given these early succesess in using fMRI to discriminate categorial information and to model lexical semantic representations of individual words, it is interesting to ask whether a similar approach can be used to study the representation of adjective-noun phrases. |
