In the last ten years the neuroscience of language has matured as a
field. Ten years ago, neuroimaging was just being explored for
neurolinguistic questions, whereas today it constitutes a routine
component. At the same time there have been significant
developments in linguistic and psychological theory that speak to
the neuroscience of language. This book consolidates those advances
into a single reference.
The "Handbook of the Neuroscience of Language" provides a
comprehensive overview of this field. Divided into five sections,
section one discusses methods and techniques including clinical
assessment approaches, methods of mapping the human brain, and a
theoretical framework for interpreting the multiple levels of
neural organization that contribute to language comprehension.
Section two discusses the impact imaging techniques (PET, fMRI,
ERPs, electrical stimulation of language cortex, TMS) have made to
language research. Section three discusses experimental approaches
to the field, including disorders at different language levels in
reading as well as writing and number processing. Additionally,
chapters here present computational models, discuss the role of
mirror systems for language, and cover brain lateralization with
respect to language. Part four focuses on language in special
populations, in various disease processes, and in developmental
disorders. The book ends with a listing of resources in the
neuroscience of language and a glossary of items and concepts to
help the novice become acquainted with the field.
Editors Stemmer & Whitaker prepared this book to reflect recent
developments in neurolinguistics, moving the book squarely into the
cognitive neuroscience of language and capturing the developments
in the field over the past 7 years.
* History section focuses on topics that play a current role in
neurolinguistics research, aphasia syndromes, and lesion
analysis
* Includes section on neuroimaging to reflect the dramatic changes
in methodology over the past decade
* Experimental and clinical section reflects recent developments in
