The Neurocognition of Language is the first critical overview of the cognitive neuroscience of language, one of the fastest-moving and most exciting areas in language research today. And it is a necessity for anyone requiring a summary of our current understanding of the relation between language and the brain. It brings together human language experts who discuss the representations and structures of language as well as the cognitive architectures that underlie speaking, listening, and reading. In addition to valuable reviews of existing brain imaging literature on word and sentence processing and contributions from brain lesion data, this book provides a basis for future brain imaging research. It even explains the prospects and problems of brain imaging techniques for the study of language, presents some of the most recent and promising analytic procedures for relating brain imaging data to the higher cognitive functions, and contains a review of the neuroanatomical structure of Broca's language area. Uniquely interdisciplinary, this book offers researchers and students in cognitive neuroscience with state-of-the-art reviews of the major language functions, while being of equal interest to researchers in linguistics and language who want to learn about language's neural bases.

About the book >.>.> The subject of this book is the neurocognition of language. Both the functional organiza- tion of the human language system and its neural underpinnings are scrutinized. Our main motivation for putting this book together was triggered by the unprecedented increase in studies on the neural architecture of language functions in the last decade. Due to the rapid development of brain-imaging techniques it is now possible to measure brain activity related to language in action. This contrasts with the past where, in the absence of an animal model, we had to rely on the experiments of nature, in the form of brain lesions that led to language deficits. In this volume we attempt to combine state-of- the-art knowledge about speaking, listening, and reading with insights into the brain systems involved in these language functions. By reviewing and summarizing our under- standing of the neural architecture of language in relation to its cognitive organization. and by discussing new approaches to bringing neural measure.
