processing syntax and morphology a neurocognitive perspective
this book reviews interdisciplinary work on the mental processing of syntax and morphology . it focuses on the fundamental questions at the centre of this research for example whether language processing proceeds in a serial or a parallel manner ; which areas of the brain support the processing of syntactic and morphological information ; whether there are neurophysiological correlates of language processing ; and the degree to which neurolinguistic findings on syntactic and morphological processing are consistent with theoretical conceptions of syntax and morphology . the authors describe the outcomes of methods in neurophysiology for example functional magnetic resonance imaging behavioural psycholinguistics and neuropsychological lesion studies and provide brief introductions to the methods themselves . they extend basic findings at the word and sentence level by considering how the mental processing of syntax and morphology relates to prosody discourse semantics and world knowledge . they have divided the work into four parts concerned with word structure sentence structure processing syntax and morphology at the interfaces and a comparison of different models of syntactic and morphological processing in the neurophysiological domain . the book is directed at graduate students and researchers in theoretical linguistics psycho and neurolinguistics neurophysiology and psychology .
