A new research paper explores how grammar reduces meaning uncertainty in language across different languages. The study found that contextual surprisal, influenced by grammar, significantly lowers uncertainty compared to isolated word frequencies. This grammatical compression of meaning is reflected in brain activity during language comprehension and production, and its disruption is linked to language impairments in conditions like aphasia, dementia, and schizophrenia.
