Description
Introduction to Psycholinguistics: Understanding Language Science provides a comprehensive overview of how people produce and comprehend language. This second edition textbook offers a balanced approach to understanding the cognitive processes involved in language acquisition, production, and comprehension. It incorporates perspectives from psychology, linguistics, philosophy, computer science, neurology, and related fields to present a multidisciplinary study of language. The book's student-friendly chapters explain key concepts, discuss how the brain receives and applies basic building blocks of language, review leading research in psycholinguistics, and describe experimental evidence behind major theories. The new edition includes updated content on recent developments in the field, including a section on language and cognitive disorders, two new chapters on autism and schizophrenia, and new coverage of bilingualism and sign language. With its fully updated material, this textbook is an ideal resource for those looking to understand the complexities of human language.
