Abstract
⺠Coordinate-based meta-analysis of nonliteral language fMRI studies. ⺠Analysis includes research on metaphors, metonymy, idioms and irony. ⺠A predominantly left lateralised fronto-temporal network appears crucial. ⺠The right hemisphere plays a smaller, but significant role for nonliteral stimuli. ⺠Both hemispheres contribute to processing of novel stimuli.
