As an official publication of the International Association for the Study of Child Language (IASCL), the TiLAR Series publishes two volumes per three year period in between IASCL congresses. All volumes in the IASCL-TiLAR Series are invited edited volumes by IASCL members that are strongly thematic in nature and that present cutting edge work which is likely to stimulate further re- search to the fullest extent. Besides quality, diversity is also an important consideration in all the volumes and in the series as a whole: diversity of theoretical and methodological approach- es, diversity in the languages studied, diversity in the geographical and academic backgrounds of the contributors. After all, like the IASCL itself, the IASCL-TiLAR Series is there for child language researchers from all over the world. The four previous TiLAR volumes were on bilingual acquisition, sign language acquisition, language development beyond the early childhood years, and on the link between child language disorders and developmental theory. We are particu- larly pleased to present the current volume on neurological and behavioural ap- proaches to the study of early language processing. We are very grateful to the volume editors, Angela D. Friederici and Guillaume Thierry, for their willingness to take on the task of preparing a volume on this exciting research. Dr. Friederici’s superb keynote at the IASCL conference in Berlin in July 2005 has set the tone for the state-of-the-art collection of high quality chapters in the present volume. Top researchers in the field provide overviews of the main techniques, theoretical is- sues and results pertaining to the research carried out in their laboratories. We are proud to have this important and cutting-edge work represented in the TiLAR series so that child language researchers from all different backgrounds worldwide have the opportunity to become acquainted with it or get to know it better. Because of the wide readership, and the often quite technical nature of the subject matter, we have closely worked together with the editors to try and make sure that the volume is sufficiently accessible, also for non-specialists. Occasion- ally this means that particular techniques and lines of reasoning are explained more than once. Rather than limit such overlaps, we have welcomed them. An
