 ong>Abstract</strong></em>: Spoken language comprehension requires abstract
 ion of linguistic information from speech\, but the interaction between aud
 itory and linguistic processing of speech remains poorly understood. In thi
 s talk\, I will discuss an intracranial EEG study that adds to the growing 
 body of literature elucidating this link. First\, using three (morpho)phono
 logical patterns in English\, I will show how the neural response to sounds
  participating in those patterns provides evidence for the maintenance of p
 honemic identity in the face of acoustic neutralization and the maintenance
  of morphological identity in the face of phonological variation. Second\, 
 I will talk about how phonemic identity information more generally– outside
  these three patterns– accounts for aspects of the neural response beyond t
 hose accounted for by acoustic information. And finally\, using complex rec
 eptive field estimation\, I will identify how the covariance structure of s
 peech acoustics interacts synergistically with phonemic identity to predict
  the neural response to speech.</p><hr /><p>Join Zoom Meeting</p><p><a titl
