Reviews

This is a ground-breaking seminal work which assesses the state of knowledge in a wide variety of languages, lays the theoretical foundations for future research and is a much needed complement to research in aphasia. It greatly enriches our understanding of the representation and organization of speech and language in the human brain. Jack Ryalls, University of Central Florida, USA
