This handbook provides a comprehensive review of new developments in the study of the relationship between the brain and language, from the perspectives ofboth basic research and clinical neuroscience. Includes contributions from aninternational team of leading figures in brain-language research Features a novel emphasis on state-of-the-art methodologies and their application to the central questions in the brain-language relationship Incorporates research on all parts of language, from syntax and semantics to spoken and written languageCovers a wide range of issues, including basic level and high level linguistic functions, individual differences, and neurologically intact and different clinical populations INDICE: Volume 1: Language Processing in the Brain: Basic Science. 1) Individual Differences in Brain Organization for Language (Christine Chiarello, Suzanne E.
