Abstract
Advances in brain imaging, neurophysiology, and computer analysis and modeling provide substantial recent advances in understanding the neurological basis of human language. The property of language, a phenomenon unique to human beings, has an increasingly identifiable underlying cerebral architecture, providing cogent models for understanding clinical and experimental paradigms. This chapter explores the neurological basis for language, reviewing different models and perspectives.
