The study of language has increasingly become an area of interdisciplinary interest. Not only is it studied by speech specialists and linguists, but by psychologists and neuroscientists as well, particularly in understanding how the brain processes meaning. This book is a comprehensive look at sentence processing as it pertains to the brain, with contributions from individuals in a wide array of backgrounds, covering everything from language acquisition to lexical and syntactic processing, speech pathology, memory, neuropsychology, and brain imaging.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Grodzinsky, Shapiro, & Swinney have done it again!,
By Edwin Maas, Ryan Downey, & Lesli Lesan (La Jolla, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Language and the Brain: Representation and Processing (Foundations of Neuropsychology) (Hardcover)
What topic is more captivating than how the brain processes language? This engaging and highly approachable text (which is a tip of the hat to Edgar Zurif, one of the field's most productive and insightful ground-breakers) is an outstanding resource for the academic, the student, or the learned reader interested in the interface between language and the brain. The chapters span widely ranging topics, from complex syntactic processing (such as WH-Movement and co-referencing of VP-Ellipsis) to discourse processing. With contributions from the field's leading researchers, this tome is a must-have for everyone interested in how the brain processes language, in a normally functioning system as well as in a damaged system (aphasia, amnesia).
