This monograph explores these questions from different perspectives to discuss the building blocks of language evolution and how they developed in the way they can be found in modern humans. Furthermore, primarily neural mapping methods of cognition presented in this research provide extremely valuable data about the neural circuitries that are involved in language processing. Thus, the book explores and illustrates cortical mapping in typical language patterns, but also cortical mapping in atypical populations that fail to process particular language aspects. In sum, an evolutionary stance is used to explore how language abilities of the Homo sapiens evolved to communicate for the purposes of conveying information, ideas, emotions, goals, humor, etc. This book presents an evolutionary language model  that builds on the cognitive abilities of our evolutionary ancestors, and it  allows readers to draw a variety of expansive conclusions from that, including the idea that human language as an interface system provides the basis for consciousness. 606 $aCognitive psychology 606 $aPsycholinguistics 606 $aNeuropsychology 606 $aCognitive Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20060 606 $aPsycholinguistics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N35000 606 $aNeuropsychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12030 615 0$aCognitive psychology. 615 0$aPsycholinguistics. 615 0$aNeuropsychology. 615 14$aCognitive Psychology. 615 24$aPsycholinguistics. 615 24$aNeuropsychology. 676 $a150 676 $a153 676 $a401.9 676 $a612.8 700 $aHillert$b Dieter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0164404 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298083403321 996 $aThe Nature of Language$92239999 997 $aUNINA
