책소개

This handbook provides a comprehensive review of new developments in the study of the relationship between the brain and language, from the perspectives of both basic research and clinical neuroscience.Includes contributions from an international team of leading figures in brain-language researchFeatures a novel emphasis on state-of-the-art methodologies and their application to the central questions in the brain-language relationshipIncorporates research on all parts of language, from syntax and semantics to spoken and written languageCovers a wide range of issues, including basic level and high level linguistic functions, individual differences, and neurologically intact and different clinical populations

출판사 서평

“Libraries catering for undergraduates in both fields may well find themselves being asked to get it for seminar reading.”& (Reference Reviews, 26 August 2012)“This is a lengthy and comprehensive set of volumes covering all relevant issues in the neuroscience of language in a current and immediately useful package.& Readers will enjoy this as primer through individual chapters, or as a complete review of the field.”& (Doody&'s, 22 February 2013)&
