Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by researchers at the Cognitive Neuroscience Section in Madrid, Spain, explored the impact of pupil size and gaze direction on language comprehension. The study found that while the speaker's gaze did not affect syntactic comprehension, larger pupils (associated with care, trust, interest, and attention) facilitated syntactic processing at early automatic stages. The research supports the idea that syntax is context-dependent and permeable to relevant sources of communicative information. This study provides valuable insights into the role of nonverbal cues in language comprehension and social interaction. [Extracted from the article]
