Opis

This groundbreaking volume explores the languages of South and Southeast Asia, which differ significantly from Indo-European languages in their grammar, lexicon and spoken forms. This book raises new questions in psycholinguistics and enables readers to re-evaluate previous models in light of new research.

Recenzje

'The 'anglocentrism' of traditional psycholinguistics has undermined a full understanding of both the universal and language-specific aspects of language processing. This book provides a desperately needed remedy, an invaluable resource on language processing in some of the richest and most diverse languages spoken by millions of people.' Johannes Ziegler, CNRS and Aix-Marseille University
