Description

Neurolinguistics by Giosue Baggio is an introduction to the study of language in the brain. This book explores how humans learn and use one or more languages, drawing on neuroscience, linguistics, and other disciplines. Baggio surveys the evolution of the field, discussing key discoveries such as those made by Paul Broca, Carl Wernicke, Noam Chomsky, and others. He also examines language acquisition, explaining that infants and young children acquire specific aspects of language in stages of cognitive development. The book covers topics including bilingualism, literacy, aphasia, neurogenetics of language, and the origins of human linguistic communication. By tracing the neural and behavioral building blocks of human language to the evolution of avian, mammalian, and primate brains, Baggio provides a comprehensive understanding of how language is processed in the brain.
