Description
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 research
* Features a novel emphasis on state-of-the-art methodologies and their application to the central questions in the brain-language relationship
* Incorporates research on all parts of language, from syntax and semantics to spoken and written language
* Covers a wide range of issues, including basic level and high level linguistic functions, individual differences, and neurologically intact and different clinical populations

Reviews / Votes
"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)
