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.
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.
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
additional information.
