Summary
Language and communication in all its forms is fundamental to our everyday and professional lives, as well as the success of the human species over generations. This chapter considers the multifaceted nature of language including its spoken and written forms. Having considered healthy language function, the chapter sets out how different facets of language can break down independently after damage to different brain areas, giving rise to some of the famous types of aphasia (acquired language impairments) and how these can be captured in simple computational models of language. The chapter then goes on to contrast the patterns observed after stroke with those that arise in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.
