Introducing Psycholinguistics
This book explores key topics related to the production and comprehension of spoken and written language. It focuses on how adult native speakers perform the intricate tasks of transforming ideas into utterances and deriving meaning from sentences. Drawing on data from observations, experiments, and more recently, brain imaging, the field of psycholinguistics has greatly advanced our understanding of the uniquely human capacity for language communication. Introducing Psycholinguistics highlights important findings in the field, including the fascinating study of spontaneous speech errors and controlled experiments that detail how we produce and understand language.
