JOURNAL OF NEUROLINGUISTICS

The Journal of Neurolinguistics is an international forum for the integration of the neurosciences and language sciences. JNL provides for rapid publication of novel, peer-reviewed research into the interaction between language, communication and brain processes. The focus is on rigorous studies of an empirical or theoretical nature and which make an original contribution to our knowledge about the involvement of the nervous system in communication and its breakdowns. Contributions from neurology, communication disorders, linguistics, neuropsychology and cognitive science in general are welcome. Published articles will typically address issues relating some aspect of language or speech function to its neurological substrates with clear theoretical import. Interdisciplinary work on any aspect of the biological foundations of language and its disorders resulting from brain damage is encouraged. Studies of normal subjects, with clear reference to brain functions, are appropriate. Group-studies on well defined samples and case studies with well documented lesion or nervous system dysfunction are acceptable. The journal is open to empirical reports and review articles. Special issues on aspects of the relation between language and the structure and function of the nervous system are also welcome.

神经语言学杂志是神经科学和语言科学结合的国际论坛。JNL提供快速出版的小说，同行评审的研究之间的互动语言，沟通和大脑过程。重点是对经验或理论性质的严格研究，这些研究对我们关于神经系统参与交流及其崩溃的知识作出了最初的贡献。欢迎来自神经学、沟通障碍、语言学、神经心理学和认知科学的贡献。发表的文章通常会讨论语言或言语功能的某些方面与其神经底物相关的问题，具有明确的理论意义。鼓励跨学科研究语言生物学基础的任何方面，以及由脑损伤引起的语言障碍。对正常受试者进行研究，明确参照大脑功能，是合适的。对明确定义的样本进行群体研究，并对有明确记录的病变或神经系统功能障碍进行案例研究，都是可以接受的。该杂志对实证报告和评论文章持开放态度。此外，还欢迎就语言与神经系统的结构和功能之间的关系发表专题文章。
