An overview of current issues in neurolinguistics. We review traditional models of brain and language. We then focus on aphasia, covering classification, symptoms, and etiology. Language is analyzed at each level of the grammar, including phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Speech and praxis are also considered. The goal is to provide an understanding of how linguistic and cognitive theories can be used to interpret the facts of aphasia.
