LANGUAGE PROCESSING IN THE BRAIN - Speech Comprehension and Speech Production

The mystery of the language that enables communication between people is still not solved today. How do we form words and phrases from a set of sounds and derive complex meanings from them? How do we organize words in our mental dictionary and recall them when necessary? How do we combine words to form sentences and use them in ways that can mean different things in different environments? How does the process of meaning take place in our brain? While this book explains the answers to these questions within the framework of psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic approaches and models, it also provides information about the origin of language and its functioning in the brain.
