Handbook of Japanese Psycholinguistics
The studies of the Japanese language and psycholinguistics have advanced quite significantly in the last half century thanks to the progress in the study of cognition and brain mechanisms associated with language acquisition, use, and disorders, and in particular, because of technological developments in experimental techniques employed in psycholinguistic studies. This volume contains 18 chapters that discuss our brain functions, specifically, the process of Japanese language acquisition - how we acquire/learn the Japanese language as a first/second language - and the mechanism of Japanese language perception and production - how we comprehend/produce the Japanese language. In turn we addre...
Experimental Studies in Word and Sentence Prosody
This volume presents 14 experimental studies of lexical tone and intonation in a wide variety of languages. Six papers deal with the discriminability or the function of intonation contours and lexical tones in specific languages, as established on the basis of listener responses, as well as with brain activation patterns resulting from the perception of tonal and intonational stimuli. The remaining eight papers report on detailed phonetic findings on a variety of tonal phenomena in a number of languages, including declination in tone languages, final lowering, consonant-tone interactions and pitch target alignment.
Hledání Spinozy
Kniha Hledání Spinozy se tématicky pohybuje na pomezí neurobiologie, kognitivní a afektivní neurovědy a filosofie. Je napsána přístupně, srozumitelně, odborný jazyk je použit v nejmenší možné míře. Tato kniha je určena vzdělané veřejnosti, nejen lékařům a psychologům, ale i filosofům, novinářům – komukoli, kdo chce lépe porozumět jak sobě, tak lidem kolem sebe. Zabývá se každodenními lidskými emocemi a pocity – radostí, strastí, žárlivostí i úžasem, láskou, nenávistí, hněvem, hnusem… V Descartesově omylu se Damasio zabýval vlivem emocí na rozumové chování, v knize The Feeling of What Happens zkoumal pocity jako podklad sebeuvědo...
