Cognitive Neuroscience Of Language

This textbook the most wide-ranging and pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in the field. It guides students through all of the major areas of investigation, drawing heavily on prominent theoretical models and illustrating how such frameworks are supported, and sometimes challenged, by experiments employing diverse brain mapping techniques. Intended for upper-level students, it nevertheless requires no previous knowledge of neuroscience or linguistics, defining technical terms and explaining important principles from both disciplines along the way.
