Review
"This book provides a well-argued response to well-entrenched prejudice: linguists, concerned with abstract notions of competence, have tended to ignore neurological data; and clinicians have shunned transformational and structural grammars as remote from the practical business of localization, taxonomy, and prognosis.... These 'explorations' should be welcomed as a rare and worthwhile contribution."
—F. Newcombe, Journal of the Neurological Sciences
"This book would be a valuable addition to the libraries of instructors of language behavior and disorders."
