Abstract:

How is language organized in the human brain? The Neuroscience of
Language puts forth the first systematic model of language to bridge
the gap between linguistics and neuroscience. Neuronal models of word
and serial order processing are presented in the form of a
computational, connectionist neural network. The linguistic emphasis
is on words and elementary syntactic rules. Introductory chapters
focus on neuronal structure and function, cognitive brain processes,
the basics of classical aphasia research and modern neuroimaging of
language, neural network approaches to language, and the basics of
syntactic theories. The essence of the work is contained in chapters
on neural algorithms and networks, basic syntax, serial order
mechanisms, and neuronal grammar. Throughout, excursuses illustrate
the functioning of brain models of language, some of which are
accessible as animations on the book's accompanying web site. It will
appeal to graduate students and researchers in neuroscience,
psychology, linguistics, and computational modeling.
