Abstract:

Neurolinguistics is a young and highly interdisciplinary field, with
influences from psycholinguistics, psychology, aphasiology, and (cognitive)
neuroscience, as well as other fields. Neurolinguistics, like
psycholinguistics, covers aspects of language processing; but unlike
psycholinguistics, it draws on data from patients with damage to language
processing capacities, or the use of modern neuroimaging technologies such as
fMRI, TMS, or both. The burgeoning interest in neurolinguistics reflects that
an understanding of the neural bases of this data can inform more biologically
plausible models of the human capacity for language.

The Oxford Handbook of Neurolinguistics provides concise overviews of this
rapidly-growing field, and engages a broad audience with an interest in the
neurobiology of language. The chapters do not attempt to provide exhaustive
coverage, but rather present discussions of prominent questions posed by given
topics. The volume opens with essential methodological chapters: Section I,
Methods, covers the key techniques and technologies used to study the
neurobiology of language today, with chapters structured along the basic
divisions of the field. Section II addresses the neurobiology of language
acquisition during healthy development and in response to challenges presented
by congenital and acquired conditions. Section III covers the many facets of
our articulate brain, or speech-language pathology, and the capacity for
language production-written, spoken, and signed. Questions regarding how the
brain comprehends meaning, including emotions at word and discourse levels,
are addressed in Section IV. Finally, Section V reaches into broader
territory, characterizing and contextualizing the neurobiology of language
with respect to more fundamental neuroanatomical mechanisms and general
cognitive domains.
