The neural basis of language development and of language processing will be discussed with neuroimaging data on healthy children. Behavioural and imaging data on children with brain lesions and epilepsy illustrate the compensatory possibilities and limitations of brain plasticity in the language domain. Although the field of language acquisition is well studied, relatively little is known about language processing in the developing brain. Of particular linguistic interest are the following questions: The first question concerns language processing during language development in the healthy and in the lesioned brain. Is language processing in children and adolescents different from adults, especially after the critical period of language acquisition? How does the lesioned brain process language and what can language impairment tell us about processing?
