Linguistics
Incorporating approaches from linguistics and psychology, The Handbook of
Psycholinguistics explores language processing and language acquisition from an
array of perspectives and features cutting edge research from cognitive science,
neuroscience, and other related fields.
The Handbook provides readers with a comprehensive review of the current state
of the field, with an emphasis on research trends most likely to determine the
shape of psycholinguistics in the years ahead. The chapters are organized into
three parts, corresponding to the major areas of psycholinguists: production,
comprehension, and acquisition. The collection of chapters, written by a team of
international scholars, incorporates multilingual populations and neurolinguistic
dimensions. Each of the three sections also features an overview chapter in which
readers are introduced to the different theoretical perspectives guiding research
in the area covered in that section.
Timely, comprehensive, and authoritative, The Handbook of Psycholinguistics is a
valuable addition to the reference shelves of researchers in psychology,
linguistics, and cognitive science, as well as advanced undergraduates and
graduate students interested in how language works in the human mind and how
language is acquired.
