This book reviews interdisciplinary work on the mental processing
of syntax and morphology. It focuses on the fundamental questions
at the centre of this research, for example whether language
processing proceeds in a serial or a parallel manner; which areas
of the brain support the processing of syntactic and morphological
information; whether there are neurophysiological correlates of
language processing; and the degree to which neurolinguistic
findings on syntactic and morphological processing are consistent
with theoretical conceptions of syntax and morphology. The authors
describe the outcomes of methods in neurophysiology (for example,
functional magnetic resonance imaging), behavioural
psycholinguistics, and neuropsychological lesion studies, and
provide brief introductions to the methods themselves. They extend
basic findings at the word and sentence level by considering how
the mental processing of syntax and morphology relates to prosody,
discourse, semantics, and world knowledge. They have divided the
work into four parts concerned with word structure, sentence
structure, processing syntax and morphology at the interfaces, and
a comparison of different models of syntactic and morphological
processing in the neurophysiological domain. The book is directed
at graduate students and researchers in theoretical linguistics,
psycho- and neurolinguistics, neurophysiology, and psychology.
