Language and Action in Cognitive NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Yann Coello, Angela Bartolo\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Psychology Press Ltd\nISBN-13: 9781138108561, 978-1138108561\nSynopsis\nThis book collates the most up to date evidence from behavioural, brain imagery and stroke-patient studies, to discuss the ways in which cognitive and neural processes are responsible for language processing.\n\nDivided into six sections, the edited volume presents arguments from evolutionist, developmental, behavioural and neurobiological perspectives, all of which point to a strong relationship between action and language. It provides a scientific basis for a new theoretical approach to language evolution, acquisition and use in humans, whilst at the same time assessing current debates on motor systems contribution to the emergence of language acquisition, perception and production.\n\nThe chapters have been written by internationally acknowledged .
