What are the characteristics of the human brain that allow the existence and creation of language? How does the environment contribute to its development? Once language networks are stabilized, how do they shape the perception and production of a variety of stimuli? We draw on insights from current and classic research in many disciplines (e.g., linguistic theory & laboratory linguistics, experimental & developmental psychology, neuropsychology, neuroimaging, computational modeling) to shed light on some key psycholinguistic questions ranging from phonology to semantics.
