Summary

Chapter 8 describes the fundamental research questions, empirical approaches and findings of neurolinguistics. It is a highly interdisciplinary linguistic subfield focusing on the relationship between brain and language behaviour. Concentrating on experimental research, methodological issues include considerations on research participants, data types, and techniques of data acquisition and analysis. The chapter ends with recommendations for further reading and a list of short exercises and ideas for small research projects.
