Cognitive Neuroscience of Natural Language Use When wethink ofeveryday language use, thefirst things thatcome to mindincludecolloquialconversations,readingandwritingemails,send- ingtextmessagesorreadingabook.Butcanwestudythebrainbasisof languageasweuseitinourdailylives?Asatopicofstudy,thecognitive neuroscience of language is far removed from these language-in-use examples. However, recent developments in research and technology have made studying the neural underpinnings of naturally occurring language much more feasible. In this book a range of international experts provide a state-of-the-art overview of current approaches to makingthecognitiveneuroscienceoflanguagemore‘natural’andcloser to language use as it occurs in real life. The chapters explore topics including discourse comprehension, the study of dialogue, literature comprehensionandtheinsightsgainedfromlookingatnaturalspeech inneuropsychology. roel willems isaseniorresearcherattheDondersInstituteforBrain, CognitionandBehaviourandMaxPlanckInstituteforPsycholinguistics, Nijmegen,TheNetherlands.
