Neuropsycholinguistic Perspectives on Language Cognition (eBook, ePUB)

Essays in honour of Jean-Luc Nespoulous
Redaktion: Astesano, Corine; Jucla, Mélanie

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book brings together experts from the fields of linguistics, psychology and neuroscience to explore how a multidisciplinary approach can impact on research into the neurocognition of language. International contributors present cutting-edge research from cognitive and developmental psychology, neuropsychology, psycholinguistics and computer science, and discuss how this contributes to neuropsycholinguistics, a term coined by Jean-Luc Nespoulous, to whom this book is dedicated.

Chapters illustrate how researchers with different methods and theoretical backgrounds can contribute to a unified vision of the study of language cognition. Reinterpreting neuropsycholinguistics through the lens of each research field, the book demonstrates important attempts to adopt a comprehensive view of speech and language pathology.

Divided into three sections the book covers:

• linguistic mechanisms and the architecture of language
• the relationship between language and other cognitive processes
• the assessment of speech and language disabilities and compensatory mechanisms.


Neuropsycholinguistic Perspectives on Language Cognition presents a unique contribution to cognitive science and language science, from linguistics to neuroscience. It will interest academics and scholars in the field, as well as medical researchers, psychologists, and speech and language therapists.
