About the Book

La neurociencia del lenguaje / The Neuroscience of Language

Una fascinante aproximación al funcionamiento del bilingüismo en el cerebro humano y cómo este adquiere y procesa el lenguaje.

Todos estamos interesados en el lenguaje y nos hemos preguntado alguna vez cómo el cerebro humano lo adquiere y procesa. Pero, ¿cómo conviven dos lenguas en un mismo cerebro y qué implicaciones tiene esa convivencia?

Para entender el funcionamiento del lenguaje el bilingüismo es fundamental. ¿Cómo consiguen los bebés expuestos a dos lenguas diferenciarlas? ¿Son las trayectorias de aprendizaje diferentes entre bebés bilingües y monolingües? ¿Cómo se deterioran las dos lenguas tras un daño cerebral?

En este fascinante libro, Albert Costa busca arrojar luz sobre estas y muchas otras cuestiones a la vez que fomenta la curiosidad del lector acerca de uno de los aspectos más fascinantes de la ciencia cognitiva: el lenguaje.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A fascinating look at the way bilingualism works in the human brain and how it acquires and processes language.

We are all interested in language and we have asked ourselves how the human brain acquires it and processes it. But how can two languages coexist in the same brain and what implications does this coexistence entail?

To understand the way language works, bilingualism is fundamental. How do babies exposed to two languages differentiate them? Are the learning paths different between bilingual and monolingual babies? How do the two languages deteriorate after brain damage? In this fascinating book, Albert Costa sheds light on these and many other questions while he inspires the reader's curiosity about one of the most fascinating aspects of cognitive science: language.
About the Author: Albert Costa es profesor de investigación ICREA en el Centro de Cerebro y Cognición de la Universidad Pompeu Fabra donde dirige el grupo de investigación «Producción del habla y bilingüismo». Al finalizar su doctorado en psicología en la Universidad de Barcelona, desarrolló su carrera investigadora en los EEUU (Universidad de Harvard, el Massachusetts Institute of Technology) y en Italia (International School for Advanced Studies), para finalmente regresar a la Universidad de Barcelona como profesor agregado. Ha publicado más de 150 artículos científicos en las revistas internacionales más prestigiosas y ha dirigido más de 20 proyectos de investigación. La pregunta fundamental que hilvana sus investigaciones es la de cómo la experiencia bilingüe esculpe el cerebro. Para responder esta pregunta, sus investigaciones hacen uso de diferentes técnicas experimentales tanto de la psicología experimental, la neurociencia cognitiva y la neuropsicología cognitiva. En la actualidad es editor asociado de dos revistas internacionales: Journal of Neurolinguistics y Language, Cognition and Neuroscience.
