xvii, 226 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. "Linguistics, neurocognition, and phenomenological psychology are fundamentally different fields of research. Helmut Schnelle provides an interdisciplinary understanding of a new integrated field in which linguists can be competent in neurocognition and neuroscientists in structure linguistics. Consequently the first part of the book is a systematic introduction to the function of the form and meaning-organising brain component - with the essential core elements being perceptions, actions, attention, emotion and feeling. Their descriptions provide foundations for experiences based on semantics and pragmatics. The second part is addressed to non-linguists and presents the structural foundations of currently established linguistic frameworks. This book should be serious reading for anyone interested in a comprehensive understanding of language, in which evolution, functional organisation and hierarchies are explained by reference to brain architecture and dynamics"--Provided by publisher. Machine generated contents note: Part I. Introducing Cognitive Neuroscience to Linguists: 1. The brain in functional perspective; 2. Organization in complex organisms; 3.

Introducing Linguistics to Scientists: 5. Introducing formal grammar; 6. Grammar as life; 7.
