Edited by Cedric Boeckx (ICREA, Universitat de Barcelona) and Kleanthes K. Grohmann (University of Cyprus), the Handbook offers the most comprehensive state-of-the-field survey of
the subject available. A team of prominent scholars working in a
variety of disciplines is brought together to examine language
development, language evolution and neuroscience, as well as providing
overviews of the conceptual landscape of the field. The Handbook
includes work at the forefront of contemporary research devoted to the
evidence for a language instinct, the critical period hypothesis,
grammatical maturation, bilingualism, the relation between mind and
brain and the role of natural selection in language evolution. It will
be welcomed by graduate students and researchers in a wide range of
disciplines, including linguistics, evolutionary biology and cognitive
science.
Happy reading!
