In this class we start out reviewing classic theory, reading translations of late 19th and early 20th century lacalizationist (e.g., Broca, Wernicke, Lichtheim,) and holist (e.g., Hughlings Jackson) authors before turning to late 20th and 21st century imaging work (especially fMRI and ERP) to see how it expands classic understanding of brain bases for language. (cross-listed with LING79400).
