Contents:
Cognitive neuroscience of natural language use : introduction / Roel M. Willems -- fMRI methods for studying the neurobiology of language under naturalistic conditions / Michael Andric, Steven L. Small -- Why study connected speech production? / Sharon Ash, Murray Grossman -- Situation models in naturalistic comprehension / Christopher A. Kurby, Jeffrey M. Zacks -- Language comprehension in rich non-linguistic contexts : combining eye tracking and event related brain potentials / Pia Knoeferle -- The NOLB model : a model of the natural organization of language and the brain / Jeremy I. Skipper -- Towards a neurocognitive poetics model of literary reading / Arthur M. Jacobs -- Putting Broca's region into context : fMRI evidence for a role in predictive language processing / Line Burholt Kristensen, Mikkel Wallentin -- Towards a multi-brain perspective on communication in dialogue / Anna K. Kuhlen, Carsten Allefeld, Silke Anders, John-Dylan Haynes -- On the generation of shared symbols / Arjen Stolk, Mark Blokpoel, Iris van Rooij, Ivan Toni -- What are naturalistic comprehension paradigms teaching us about language? / Uri Hasson, Giovanna Egidi.
Summary: "When we think of everyday language use, the first things that come to mind include colloquial conversations, reading and writing e-mails, sending text messages or reading a book. But can we study the brain basis of language as we use it in our daily lives? As a topic of study, the cognitive neuroscience of language is far removed from these language-in-use examples. However, recent developments in research and technology have made studying the neural underpinnings of naturally occurring language much more feasible. In this book a range of international experts provide a state-of-the-art overview of current approaches to making the cognitive neuroscience of language more 'natural' and closer to language use as it occurs in real life. The chapters explore topics including discourse comprehension, the study of dialogue, literature comprehension and the insights gained from looking at natural speech in neuropsychology"--Provided by publisher
