Abstract
Biological factors have generally been identified as the major determinants of the organization of language in the brain. Recent studies are discussed that suggest the possible contributions of non-biological influences on linguistic organization. Tone language and bilingualism are two possible non-biological influences identified. The study of crossed aphasia, whose investigation recently has sparked research interest, is described as a unique means by which non-biological influences on the sites and patterns of language organization in the brain may be studied. An interdisciplinary research approach has been planned and initiated that includes investigators from the disciplines of neurology, linguistics, and language pathology.
