Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and pedagogically practical survey of the most importantdevelopments in this exciting field. It guides students through all of the major areas of investigation, beginning with the fundamentalaspects of brain structure and function and then following with key topics such as classic and progressive aphasia syndromes; speechperception and production; the meanings of object nouns, action verbs, and abstract words; the formulation and comprehension ofcomplex expressions, including grammatically inflected words, complete sentences, and entire stories; and several other domainsof neurolinguistic research, including reading and writing, sign language, and the bilingual brain. Drawing heavily on prominenttheoretical models, the core chapters illustrate how such frameworks are supported, and sometimes challenged, by experimentsemploying diverse brain mapping techniques
