Summary

This introductory chapter will discuss the general goals of the book, which are essentially exploratory (i.e. a comprehensive review of the current state of the art) and explanatory (i.e. discussing the potential for particular aspects of brains dynamics and neuroanatomy to explain basic features of linguistic cognition). A background of the relevant linguistic concepts will be presented, and the concept of natural language syntax will be sufficiently decomposed into more generic computational processes.
