ISBN: 9780190672027 出版年：2019 页码：993 Oxford University Press

Neurolinguistics is a highly interdisciplinary field, drawing on linguistics, psychology, neurology, and cognitive neuroscience. Neurolinguistics, like psycholinguistics, covers aspects of language processing; but unlike psycholinguistics, it draws on data from patients with damage to language processing capacities, or the use of modern neuroimaging technologies such as fMRI, TMS, or both. The burgeoning interest in neurolinguistics reflects the fact that an understanding of the neural bases of this data can inform more biologically plausible models of the human capacity for language. The Oxford Handbook of Neurolinguistics provides concise overviews of this rapidly-growing field, and engages a broad audience with an interest in the neurobiology of language.
