This is an engaging study of the mental lexicon: the way in which
the form and meaning of words is stored by speakers of specific
languages. Fortescue attempts to narrow the gap between the results
of experimental neurology and the concerns of theoretical
linguistics in the area of lexical semantics. The prime goal as
regards linguistic theory is to show how matters of lexical
organization can be analysed and discussed within a neurologically
informed framework that is both adaptable and constrained. It
combines the perspectives of distributed network modelling and
linguistic semantics, and draws upon the accruing evidence from
neuroimaging studies as regards the cortical regions involved. It
engages with a number of controversial current issues in both
disciplines. This text is intended as a tool for linguists
interested in psychological adequacy and the latest advances in
Cognitive Science. It provides a principled means of distinguishing
those semantic features required by a mental lexicon that have a
direct bearing on grammar from those that do not. A Neural Network
Model of Lexical Organisation is essential reading for researchers
in neurolinguistics and lexical semantics.
