A distinctive feature of the piece is the strong presence of interdisciplinary work and the internal coherence of the volume, integrating computational science, cognitive science, neurology and psycholinguistics, as well as syntax, semantics, and morpho-phonology; an integration that is most welcomed as it triggers debate and productive revisiting of the machinery assumed within all aforementioned sub-disciplines of linguistics. The volume is organized around the notion of garden path sentences, relative clauses, and their relations at the processing level; this includes major problems of natural language processing and the relations between syntax, semantics, and morpho-phonology from a more general point of view as well.

ISBN 978-0-19-955327-3 (Hbk) 978-0-19-955328-0 (Pbk) One of the most fascinating but at the same time still not very thoroughly investigated fields is the "Biolinguistic enterprise" of human language faculty as opposed to other means of communication between say animals or computers and humans. Anna Maria di Sciullo and Cedric Boeckx, the editors of the present issue, belong to the founders of the new type of interdisciplinary research that seeks to explore "the basic properties of human language and to investigate how it matures in the individual, how it is put to use in thought and communication, what brain circuits implement it, what combination of genes supports it, and how it emerged in our species."
