This concise and accesible book examines the linguistic and neuro-anatomical underpinnings of language. It considers how language skills can systematically break down in individuals with different types of brain damage, such as children with language disorders, adults with right-hemisphere brain damage, demented patients, and people with reading problems. In a wide-ranging discussion, the authors cover brain damage on bilingual people as well as the reading and writing difficulties experienced by dyslexics and dysgraphics. Information is also provided on "split-brain" patients, visual-gestural languages and language savants. By studying the linguistics behaviour of these groupings the authors provide and understanding of how language is organised in the brain.  aBiolingüística  aTrastornos del lenguaje  aDaño cerebral
