Abstract:

Drawing on cutting-edge ideas from the biological and cognitive sciences, this
book presents both an innovative neuro-computational model of language
comprehension and a state-of-the-art review of current topics in
neurolinguistics. It explores a range of newly-emerging topics in the
biological study of language, building them into a framework which views
language as grounded in endogenous neural oscillatory behaviour. This allows
the author to formulate a number of hypotheses concerning the relationship
between neurobiology and linguistic computation. Murphy also provides an
extensive overview of recent theoretical and experimental work on the
neurobiological basis of language, from which the reader will emerge
up-to-date on major themes and debates. This lively overview of contemporary
issues in theoretical linguistics, combined with a clear theory of how
language is processed, is essential reading for scholars and students across a
range of disciplines.
