Introducing Psycholinguistics

What is Psycholinguistics? invites the beginning student to explore the field through phenomenon-driven examples. The book begins with a lay person’s intuitive ideas of what it means to talk and to listen and goes on to cover four core topics: perception, production, comprehension, and acquisition. Readers will ‘discover’ from examples and exercises both the multiple levels of representations that psycholinguistic research justifies and the need for them to be resolved within very stringent time frames. An accompanying CD will include additional exercises, examples and experiments.
