Opis

Psycholinguistics is the empirical and theoretical study of the mental faculty that underpins our consummate linguistic agility. These volumes reprint articles from a variety of international journals, book chapters and, in at least one case, a much cited technical report, taking a broad look at how the field has developed, from the turn of the 20th century through to the turn of the 21st. Since the 1960s, there has been a boom in research on how the human mind both produces and comprehends language; psycholinguistics represents a synthesis between linguistics on the one hand and psychology on the other. The set covers the following topics: language acquisition; the mental lexicon; sentence processing; discourse and meaning; spoken language production; reading; disorders of language and production; and computational models of language learning and adult language use. Each volume covers two topics and each section has have a short introduction to guide the reader through the material, as well as an original general introduction to the set.
