    Description

    How do our brains enable us to speak creatively and build up an understanding of language? This accessible book examines the linguistic and neuro-anatomical underpinnings of language and considers how language skills can systematically break down in individuals with different types of brain damage. By studying children with language disorders, adults with right-hemisphere brain damage, demented patients and people with reading problems, the authors provide an understanding of how language is organized in the brain.

    • Accessible - geared for undergraduates and the usual readers of the Cambridge Approaches to Linguistics series
    • Linguistic focus - approaches neurolinguistics from a linguistic viewpoint
    • Coherence - includes details of neuroanatomy for those not familiar with it and also a glossary of terms used
