This important volume brings together significant findings on the
neural bases of spoken language -its processing, use, and
organization, including its phylogenetic roots. Employing a potent
mix of conceptual and neuroimaging-based approaches, contributors
delve deeply into specialized structures of the speech system,
locating sensory and cognitive mechanisms involved in listening and
comprehension, grasping meanings and storing memories. The novel
perspectives revise familiar models by tracing linguistic
interactions within and between neural systems, homing in on the
brain's semantic network, exploring the neuroscience behind
bilingualism and multilingual fluency, and even making a compelling
case for a more nuanced participation of the motor system in
speech. From these advances, readers have a more three-dimensional
picture of the brain-its functional epicenters, its connections,
and the whole-as the seat of language in both wellness and
disorders. Included in the topics: * The interaction between
storage and computation in morphosyntactic processing. * The role
of language in structure-dependent cognition. * Multisensory
integration in speech processing: neural mechanisms of cross-modal
after-effect. * A neurocognitive view of the bilingual brain. *
Causal modeling: methods and their application to speech and
language. * A word in the hand: the gestural origins of language.
Neural Mechanisms of Language presents a sophisticated mix of
detail and creative approaches to understanding brain structure and
function, giving neuropsychologists, cognitive neuroscientists,
developmental psychologists, cognitive psychologists, and
speech/language pathologists new windows onto the research shaping
their respective fields.
