[How humans produce and understand language is clearly introduced in this textbook for students with only a basic knowledge of linguistics. With a logical, flexible structure Introducing Psycholinguistics steps through the central topics of production and comprehension of language and the interaction between them.
• Students will gain an understanding of the processes and representations
involved in language use, aided by a comprehensive glossary, concepts
defined in the margins and online flashcards that allow students to check
their understanding of all the key terms and concepts of the subject.
• Examples and exercises throughout each topic reinforce understanding and
encourage students to consider what language users might carry around in
their heads as part of their linguistic knowledge, and how this stored
knowledge relates to the structures and rules proposed by theoretical
linguistics.
• Students will gain hands-on experience of experimental methods, with
online demonstrations of techniques. This supports the theory within the
book, reinforces a student’s grasp of the concepts and allows the student to
apply their understanding to the analysis of data.
