Opis

Das Sonderheft "Linguistics and Cognitive Neuroscience" enthalt insgesamt vierzehn, in englischer Sprache verfasste Beitrage. Die Autoren untersuchen, wie sprachliche Einheiten im menschlichen Gehirn unter normalen und neurologisch gestorten Bedingungen verarbeitet werden. Die Untersuchungsmethoden sind linguistischer und psychologischer Natur, und die Ergebnisse werden stets unter Berucksichtigung von Theorien, Hypothesen, experimentellen Ergebnissen und Beobachtungen interpretiert.Der Leser erhalt dadurch vom Forschungsbereich "Sprache, Kognition und Gehirn" einerseits ein umfassendes Bild, und andererseits wird er uber neueste, richtungsweisende Ergebnisse detailliert informiert.This special issue, "Linguistics and Cognitive Neuroscience," consists of articles investigating language processing in neurologically impaired populations. The general approach of the authors is to describe such language disorders in behavioral terms by applying primarily linguistic as well as psychological methods. The reported findings are interpreted by taking models, hypotheses, and experimental data into account. Thus, the research field of language, cognition, and brain is discussed in broad terms and new findings relevant for future research are presented."
