An argument that the meaning of written or auditory linguistic signals is not derived from the input but results from the brain''s internal construction process.
When we read a text or listen to speech, meaning seems to be given to us instantaneously, as if it were part of the input. In Meaning in the Brain, Giosuè Baggio explains that this is an illusion created by the tremendous speed at which sensory systems and systems for meaning and grammar operate in the brain. Meaning, Baggio argues, is not derived from input but results from the brain''s internal construction process. With this book, Baggio offers the first integrated, multilevel theory of semantics in the brain, describing how meaning is generated during language comprehension, production, and acquisition.
Baggio''s theory draws on recent advances in formal semantics and pragmatics, including vector-space semantics, discourse representation theory, and signaling game theory. It is designed to explain a growing body of experimental results on semantic processing that have accumulated in the absence of a unifying theory since the introduction of electrophysiology and neuroimaging methods.
Baggio argues that there is evidence for the existence of three semantic systems in the brain—relational semantics, interpretive semantics, and evolutionary semantics—and he discusses each in turn, developing neural theories of meaning for all three. Moreover, in the course of his argument, Baggio addresses several long-standing issues in the neuroscience of language, including the role of compositionality as a principle of meaning construction in the brain, the role of sensory-motor processes in language comprehension, and the neural and evolutionary links among meaning, consciousness, sociality, and action.

An accessible introduction to the study of language in the brain, covering language processing, language acquisition, literacy, and language disorders.Neurolinguistics, the study of language in the brain, describes the anatomical structures (networks of neurons in the brain) and physiological processes (ways for these networks to be active) that allow humans to learn and use one or more languages. It draws on neuroscience, linguistics—particularly theoretical linguistics—and other disciplines. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Giosuè Baggio offers an accessible introduction to the fundamentals of neurolinguistics, covering language processing, language acquisition, literacy, and speech and language disorders. Baggio first surveys the evolution of the field, describing discoveries by Paul Broca, Carl Wernicke, Noam Chomsky, and others. He discusses mapping language in “brain time” and “brain space” and the constraints of neurolinguistic models. Considering language acquisition, he explains that a child is never a “blank slate”: infants and young children are only able to acquire specific aspects of language in specific stages of cognitive development. He addresses the neural consequences of bilingualism; literacy, discussing how forms of visual language in the brain differ from forms of auditory language; aphasia and the need to understand language disorders in behavioral, functional, and neuroanatomical terms; neurogenetics of language; and the neuroethology of language, tracing the origins of the neural and behavioral building blocks of human linguistic communication to the evolution of avian, mammalian, and primate brains. - Häftad, Spanska, 2025

Una introducción accesible al estudio del lenguaje en el cerebro, que cubre la adquisición y procesamiento del lenguaje, la alfabetización y los trastornos del lenguaje.La neurolingüística, el estudio del lenguaje en el cerebro, describe las estructuras anatómicas (redes neuronales del cerebro) y los procesos fisiológicos (las maneras en que estas redes se activan) que permiten a los seres humanos aprender uno o más idiomas. Se basa en la neurociencia, en la lingüística —especialmente en la lingüística teórica— y en otras disciplinas. En este volumen de la serie Conocimientos esenciales de MIT Press, Giosuè Baggio ofrece una introducción accesible a los fundamentos de la neurolingüística, en la que cubre la adquisición y procesamiento del lenguaje, la alfabetización y los trastornos del lenguaje. Baggio primero entrega una visión general de la evolución de este campo mediante la descripción de los descubrimientos hechos por Paul Broca, Carl Wernicke, Noam Chomsky y otros. Luego, analiza el mapeo del lenguaje en términos de "esfuerzo mental" y "capacidad mental", y las restricciones de los modelos neurolingüísticos. En cuanto a la adquisición del lenguaje, el autor explica que los niños nunca son "páginas en blanco": los infantes y los niños pequeños solo son capaces de adquirir determinados aspectos del lenguaje en etapas específicas de su desarrollo cognitivo. El autor aborda los siguientes temas: las consecuencias neurológicas del bilingüismo; el alfabetismo, del que discute cómo difieren las formas de lenguaje visual en el cerebro de las formas del lenguaje auditivo; la afasia y la necesidad de comprender los trastornos del lenguaje en términos conductuales, funcionales y neuroanatómicos; la neurogenética del lenguaje; y la neuroetología del lenguaje, relacionando los orígenes de los elementos básicos neuronales y conductuales de la comunicación lingüística del ser humano con la evolución de los cerebros de las aves, los mamíferos y los primates.
