Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• High-level semantic integration depends on conscious processing, whereas basic linguistic processing can persist under reduced consciousness. • Language and consciousness show parallel recovery trajectories, supporting a functional link between the two. • Covert high-level semantic processing in unresponsive patients questions current diagnostic criteria for disorders of consciousness. • Language may help structure conscious experience, supporting theories that view language as a constitutive element of higher-order conscious thought. • Language-based assessments of consciousness introduce methodological circularity, limiting the ability to study and interpret data in this field.
