Suggestions for Further Reading
Carter, R. (1998). Mapping the mind. London: Weidenfeld &
Nicolson.
Although not exclusively about language, this book is a beautifully
illustrated book describing the “geography” of the brain’s
functional areas.

and language comprehension. Boston, MA: Allyn and Bacon.

research regarding language, and the book by Just and Carpenter focuses
on written language.
Berko Gleason, J. (1993). The development of language. New York,

This book does an excellent job of describing language acquisition in
infants and children.
