Abstract
The Wernicke-Lichtheim-Geschwind model of the neurology of language has served the field well despite its limited scope. More recent work has updated the basic architecture of the classical model and expanded its scope. This chapter briefly reviews the Wernicke-Lichtheim-Geschwind model and points out its shortcomings, then describes and motivates the dual stream model and how it solves several empirical shortcomings of the classical model. The chapter also (i) underscores how the dual stream model relates to the organization of nonlinguistic cortical networks, integrating language systems with the broader functional-anatomical landscape, (ii) describes recent work that further specifies the computational architecture and neural correlates of the dorsal speech production system, and (iii) summarizes recent extensions of the architectural framework to include syntax.
