I'm trying to find some resources on neuromorphology - the structure/shape of the brain, and specifically how it pertains to language - my theory is that if I understand how the human brain processes language (and how other animals' brains are geared), then I could dream up some interesting pathways for use in non-human language, possibly a non-visual-primary animal, or one that communicates with an entirely different apparatus.

If anyone has some good resources/books/links/etc, I'd be very grateful Smile

Thanks!

To the best of my knowledge, no one understands how the human brain processes language. There's a whole lot of guesses though (and a few are accepted as being probably right).

I wouldn't know where to look - maybe search Amazon for 'cognitive linguistics' or something.

Alright, thanks Smile

And I'll check to see what the books I just got have to say on it.

If you're interested, Sloutsky's article, "From Perceptual Categories to Concepts: What Develops?" is really good for a description of how concepts seem to be encoded, including neurological systems that are likely to process such concepts and their relevant categories.
He also mentions the paper "Concept learning in animals" by Zentall et al, which seems to be a good starting point for extension to an alien model.
