The Representation of Language in the Brain: In Honour of John C. Marshall : A Special Issue of Aphasiology (Special Issues of Aphasiology)

John C Marshall is one of the most influential neuropsychologists of his generation. His impact on the development of cognitive neuropsychology has been pivotal, particularly in the neuropsychology of language. This Festschrift in his honour brings together contributions from his colleagues and friends to celebrate this contribution and presents a comprehensive survey of contemporary and historical issues concerned with The Representation of Language in the Brain. There are contributions on reading, naming, syntax, comprehension, foreign accent syndrome, progressive aphasia, the history of aphasia, treatment, the evolution of language, calculation and embodied cognition. The content reflects John’s own interests in language and aphasia, and it is therefore no wonder that it also reflects current and central issues in the neuropsychology of language.
