Abstract:

Traditionally, due to the availability of technology, psycholinguistic
research has focused mainly on Western languages. However, this focus has
recently shifted towards a more diverse range of languages, whose structures
often throw into question many previous assumptions in syntactic theory and
language processing. Based on a case study in field-based comparative
psycholinguistics, this pioneering book is the first to explore the
neurocognition of endangered 'object-before-subject' languages, such as
Kaqchikel and Seediq. It draws on a range of methods - including linguistic
fieldwork, theoretical linguistic analysis, corpus research, questionnaire
surveys, behavioural experiments, eye tracking, event-related brain
potentials, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and near-infrared
spectroscopy – to consider preferred constituent orders in both language and
thought, examining comprehension as well as production.  In doing so, it
highlights the importance of field-based cross-linguistic cognitive
neuroscientific research in uncovering universal and language-particular
aspects of the human language faculty, and the interaction between language
and thought.
