Beyond cry and laugh: toward a multilevel model of language production

Marc H Bornstein et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2014 Dec.

Abstract

Language production is a multilevel phenomenon, and human capacities to communicate vocally progress from early forms, based on projections of motor cortex to brainstem nuclei, to complex elaborations, mediated by high-order cognition and fostered by socially mediated feedback.
