What biological factors make human communication possible? How
do we process and understand language? How does brain damage affect
these mechanisms, and what can this tell us about how language is
organized in the brain? The field of neurolinguistics seeks to
answer these questions, which are crucial to linguistics,
psychology and speech pathology alike. This textbook introduces the
central topics in neurolinguistics: speech recognition, word and
sentence structure, meaning, and discourse - in both ''normal''
speakers and those with language disorders. It moves on to provide
a balanced discussion of key areas of debate such as modularity and
the ''language areas'' of the brain, ''connectionist'' versus
''symbolic'' modelling of language processing, and the nature of
linguistic and mental representations. Making accessible over half
a century of scientific and linguistic research, and containing
extensive study questions, it will be welcomed by all those
interested in the relationship between language and the brain.
