The Neuroscience of Language

On Brain Circuits of Words and Serial Order
Friedemann Pulvermüller, Medical Research Council, Cambridge
February 2003
Available
Paperback
9780521793742
    Description

    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. The essence of the work is contained in chapters on neural algorithms and networks, basic syntax, serial order mechanisms, and neuronal grammar. Throughout, exercises illustrate the functioning of brain models of language.

    • Author is a recognized expert in the neuroscience of language
    • Contains numerous excursuses (examples) throughout
    • Accompanied by a web site with colourful powerpoint animations
