Description

Product Description Much of the groundbreaking work in many fields is now occurring at the intersection of traditional academic disciplines. This development is well demonstrated in this important and unique volume, which offers a multidisciplinary view of current findings and cutting-edge issues involving the relationship between mind, brain, and language. Marie T. Banich and Molly Mack have edited a collection of 11 invited chapters from top researchers (and have contributed two of their own chapters) to create a volume organized around five major topics--language emergence, influence, and development; models of language and language processing; the neurological bases of language; language disruption and loss; and dual-language systems. Topics range from the evolution of language and child-language acquisition to brain imaging and the "bilingual brain." To maintain continuity throughout, care has been taken to ensure that the chapters have been written in a style accessible to scholars across many disciplines, from anthropology and psycholinguistics to cognitive science and neurobiology. Because of its depth and breadth, this book is appropriate both as a textbook in a variety of undergraduate and graduate-level courses and as a valuable resource for researchers and scholars interested in further understanding the background of and current developments in our understanding of the mind/brain/language relationship. Synopsis This is a one volume overview of how the structure of language influences the way we think and how the organization of the brain influences language. The contributors examine these issues from a variety of distinct disciplinary vantage points ranging from linguistics and philosophy to psychology and neuroscience. The impetus for such an interdisciplinary work comes from the editors' belief that major insights in science result from interaction and cross-fertilization between the discrete conceptualizations and approaches that occur within individual disciplines. This volume is designed to provide an entry point for individuals who are interested in an interdisciplinary approach to issues related to mind, brain and language. Each chapter is written to be comprehensible not only to a specialist within a particular field of inquiry, but also to the generally educated reader as well. Instructors should find the text appropriate as core class material for upper-level interdisciplinary courses in psycholinguistics, cognitive neuroscience, and speech and hearing.
