Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and pedagogically practical survey of the most important
developments in this exciting field. It guides students through all of the major areas of investigation, beginning with the fundamental
aspects of brain structure and function and then following with key topics such as classic and progressive aphasia syndromes; speech
perception and production; the meanings of object nouns, action verbs, and abstract words; the formulation and comprehension of
complex expressions, including grammatically inflected words, complete sentences, and entire stories; and several other domains
of neurolinguistic research, including reading and writing, sign language, and the bilingual brain. Drawing heavily on prominent
theoretical models, the core chapters illustrate how such frameworks are supported, and sometimes challenged, by experiments
employing diverse brain mapping techniques
