A two-dimensional space of linguistic representations shared across individuals.

ABSTRACT: Our ability to extract meaning from linguistic inputs and package ideas into word sequences is supported by a network of left-hemisphere frontal and temporal brain areas. Despite extensive research, previous attempts to discover differences among these language areas have not revealed clear dissociations or spatial organization. All areas respond similarly during controlled linguistic experiments as well as during naturalistic language comprehension. To search for finer-grained organizational principles of language processing, we applied data-driven decomposition methods to ultra-high-field (7T) fMRI responses from eight participants listening to 200 linguistically diverse sentences. Using a cross-validation procedure that identifies shared structure across individuals, we find that two co
