The term ?language-ready brain? stresses, on the one hand, the importance of a brain-based description of our species? linguistic capacity, and, on the other, the need to appreciate the crucial role culture plays in shaping the linguistic systems children acquire and adults use. For this reason, the focus is not put on language per se, but on our learning biases and cognitive pre-dispositions toward language. Both brain and culture are considered at two crucial levels of inquiry: phylogeny and ontogeny. In a fast-growing field like the language sciences and specifically, language evolution studies, this book has tried to capture several of the most exciting topics explored currently, sowing seeds for future investigations. 610 $aglobularization 610 $aphonology 610 $abrain oscillations 610 $aBrain asymmetry 610 $alanguage development 610 $amerge 610 $aSpeech 610 $aLanguage production 610 $alanguage-readiness 610 $atemporal attention 610 $aRetinoic acid 610 $aCommunication 700 $aAntonio Benitez-Burraco$4auth$01255510 702 $aCedric Boeckx$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220040903321 996 $aComponents of the language-ready brain$93033047 997 $aUNINA
