The Handbook of Neurolinguistics is a state-of-the-art reference
and resource book; it describes current research and theory in the
many subfields of neurolinguistics and its clinical application.
Thorough and clearly written, the Handbook provides an excellent
overview of the field of neurolinguistics and its
development.
In the last ten years the neuroscience of language has matured as a
field. Ten years ago, neuroimaging was just being explored for
neurolinguistic questions, whereas today it constitutes a routine
component. At the same time there have been significant
developments in linguistic and psychological theory that speak to
the neuroscience of language. This book consolidates those advances
into a single reference.
What were the circumstances that led to the development of our
cognitive abilities from a primitive hominid to an essentially
modern human? The answer to this question is of profound importance
to understanding our present nature. Since the steep path of our
cognitive development is the attribute that most distinguishes
humans from other mammals, this is also a quest to determine human
origins. This collection of outstanding scientific problems and the
revelation of the many ways they can be addressed indicates the
scope of the field to be explored and reveals some avenues along
which research is advancing. Distinguished scientists and
researchers who have advanced the discussion of the mind and brain
contribute state-of-the-art presentations of their field of
expertise. Chapters offer speculative and provocative views on
topics such as body, culture, evolution, feelings, genetics,
history, humor, knowledge, language, machines, neuroanatomy,
pathology, and perception. This book will appeal to researchers and
students in cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychology,
cognitive science, and philosophy.
