This book introduces the reader to both neurolinguistics per se and
the neuropsychological aspects of bilingualism. Neurolinguistics
may roughly be defined as a subset of neuropsychology, namely the
study of the representation and processing of language in the
brain. To this effect, the first chapters of the book focus on the
basic neuropsychology of language processing and acquisition. The
second half of the book addresses the issues of cerebral
representation and processing of language in bi-or multilingual
subjects. All aspects are systematically dealt with, namely the
definition of bilingualism; an analysis of all the issues related
to bilingual aphasia, i.e. patterns of recovery of the patients'
carious languages in diverse population; an investigation of the
methodologies used in the study of the neuropsychological aspects
of the various linguistic functions, such as comprehension,
production and translation; and lastly, the issues of cerebral
lateralization and neuroanatomical localization of the numerous
cortical and subcortical structures subserving the various language
system components in multilingual subjects. It is an excellent
introduction to both the neuropsychology of language and the
phenomena related to bilingualism. This book will be of particular
interest to students of language therapy, aphasiology, applied
psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics and, in general, to students of
medicine who wish to become more knowledgeable about the specific
needs of patients in a multilingual society.
