Aphasia-from the Greek aphatos ('speechless')-describes impairments
and disabilities in the use of language arising from, for example,
strokes, trauma, tumours, surgery, or progressive brain
deterioration. It includes problems with the expression and
comprehension of language in speech, reading, writing, and signing.
Research in and around aphasia continues to flourish such that,
even for specialist aphasiologists, it is extremely hard to keep up
to date with developments. There is a real threat of
laboratory-based human research, neuropsychology,
computational-modelling research, and brain-imaging studies
proceeding in ignorance of each other. Indeed, the sheer scale of
the growth in cognitive neuroscience makes this collection
especially timely and welcome; it permits ready access to the most
influential and important works across the full breadth of the
discipline. The materials gathered in Volume I include explorations
of the foundations of aphasiology. The major works collected in the
second volume examine theoretical developments, while Volume III is
organized around contemporary issues in aphasiology. The final
volume makes sense of clinical issues, such as recovery,
assessment, and rehabilitation. With a full index, together with a
comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which
places the collected material in its historical and intellectual
context, Aphasia is an essential work of reference. For researchers
and advanced students, it is a vital one-stop research and
instructional resource.
