The Infrastructure of the Language-Ready Brain
This chapter sketches in very general terms the cognitive architecture of both language comprehension and production, as well as the neurobiological infrastructure that makes the human brain ready for language. Focus is on spoken language, since that compares most directly to processing music. It is worth bearing in mind that humans can also interface with language as a cognitive system using s...
متن کاملEditorial: Components of the Language-Ready Brain
Our intention in putting together this volume was to exemplify and highlight new avenues of research in the language sciences concerning the neurobiology of language. We chose the term “language-ready brain” for our Research Topic, like we did for Boeckx and Benitez-Burraco, because we think it is high time to stress, on the one hand, the importance of a brain-based description of our species’ ...
متن کاملCulture and the Brain
The goal of this article is to highlight recent work examining how culture affects neural activation. We suggest a framework for cultural neuroscience in which there are two objectives: culture mapping—or the mapping function from patterns characteristic of cultures to their neural processing—and source analysis—or the attempt to determine the sources of observed commonalities and differences. ...
متن کاملAphasia, apraxia and the evolution of the language-ready brain
Background: The Mirror System Hypothesis offers the mirror system for grasping (i.e., neural mechanisms active for both execution and observation of grasping) as a neural ‘‘missing link’’ between the brains of our non-human ancestors of 20 million years ago and the modern human language-ready brain, stressing the importance of manual gesture in the evolution of mechanisms supporting language. A...
متن کاملFrom language-ready brain to languages
This talk will address the bridge from emergence of the language-ready brain (as described by the mirror system hypothesis, MSH) to the actual development of full-blown human languages, playing variations on the theme of “construction”: the evolutionary concept of niche construction, the practical skill of constructing more complex objects from simpler components, and the notion that languages ...
