This is a book about speech and language. It is primarily intended
for those interested in speech and its neurophysiological bases:
phoneticians, linguists, educators, speech therapists,
psychologists, and neuroscientists. Although speech and language
are its central topic, it provides information about related topics
as well (e.g. structure and functioning of the central nervous
system, research methods in neuroscience, theories and models of
speech production and perception, learning, and memory). Data on
clinical populations are given in parallel with studies of healthy
subjects because such comparisons can give a better understanding
of intact and disordered speech and language functions. br br There
is a review of literature (more than 600 sources) and research
results covering areas such as neuroanatomy, neurophysiology,
development of the nervous system, sex differences, history of
neurolinguistics, behavioral, neuroimaging and other research
methods in neuroscience, linguistics and psychology, theories and
models of the nervous system function including speech and language
processing, kinds of memory and learning and their neural
substrates, critical periods, various aspects of normal speech and
language processes (e.g. phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics,
reading), bilingualism, speech and language disorders, and many
others. br br Newcomers to the field of neurolinguistics will find
it as readable as professionals will because it is organized in a
way that gives the readers flexibility and an individual approach
to the text. The language is simple but all the technical terms are
provided, explained, and illustrated. A comprehensive glossary
provides additionalinformation. br
