Language: From Hearing to Speech and Writing
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Language is a multifaceted process involving intricate interactions between cognitive, sensory, and motor systems that must be implemented successfully. Hearing may allow us to speak, and reading may allow us to write, but how do these systems interact? What are their limits before impairment? Although significant progress has been made in recent years toward understanding these interactions, the combined contributions of these systems in language acquisition and processing—both in typical and atypical scenarios—are rarely considered together. This topic seeks to bring together recent findings in this expansive research field, offering new insights into the aetiology of various spoken and reading/writing disorders, such as developmental language disorder, dyslexia, and aphasia, as well as other conditions where language processing is disrupted across diverse age groups, including children, adults, and the elderly. Contributions from diverse fields (e.g., (e.g., Audiology, Speech–Hearing Sciences, Psychology, and Neuroscience) using a combination of different methodologies, including behavioural and neuroimaging techniques, are especially encouraged.
