Is language separable from intelligence? Is it enabled by dedicated and localizable neural networks? Do we speak and understand with our left hemisphere? How did language emerge? Is language grounded in sensorimotor systems, or is it abstract and amodal? Will we ever have a clear picture of how syntax, the pinnacle of human linguistic prowess, is organized neurologically? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWired for Words\u003c\/i\u003e answers these questions and more. Gregory Hickok tells the stories behind the big ideas, revealing the source of both modern progress and persistent myths. Drawing on decades of research using tools and insights from neurology, functional imaging, neurosurgery, linguistics, psychology, and engineering, Hickok builds a new understanding of the neural architecture--the components and connection patterns--of the brain's language system from sound to meaning to speech.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory Hickok\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262553414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262553414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Gregory Hickok","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202628829439,"sku":"9780262553414","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_440f0f8b-b74c-402c-bf9b-8ba0ab6a9539.jpg?v=1756832927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wired-for-words-gregory-hickok-9780262553414","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
