Susan Ericksen's portraits of the characters are vivid, passionate, and at the same time tranquil which fit the style of the novel perfectly. The original files consist of 1580 mp3s, one of each lasts around half a miniute. I spent some time to make them merge into chapters, but a minor error occured which I couldn't explain: several words were lost at the end of chapter 35. The last sentence reads: I rose from the thanksgiving-took a resolve-and lay down, unscared, enlightened-eager but for the daylight. The mp3 ends at the words of "lay down". So I'd like to make an apology beforehand.
This book collates the most up to date evidence from behavioural, brain imagery and stroke-patient studies, to discuss the ways in which cognitive and neural processes are responsible for language processing. Divided into six sections, the edited volume presents arguments from evolutionist, developmental, behavioural and neurobiological perspectives, all of which point to a strong relationship between action and language. It provides a scientific basis for a new theoretical approach to language evolution, acquisition and use in humans, whilst at the same time assessing current debates on motor system’s contribution to the emergence of language acquisition, perception and production.
The message of the book is straightforward and easy to apply: it derives from the interweaving of long years of field work with a solid theoretical background. The practice advocated presents children with the opportunity to confront contents and situations which are only too often considered inaccessible for them.
