| Short description
Introducing the fundamental issues in psycholinguistics, this book explores the amazing story of the unconscious processes that take place when humans use language. Reflecting the experience and knowledge gained by the authors in their combined forty years of teaching psycholinguistics, the book is structured as an engaging narrative, taking the reader from an idea in the mind of a speaker, to its comprehension in the mind of the hearer. With useful student study features, including end-of-chapter questions, a review of the key concepts, and further readings, this is a welcome addition for those seeking a linguistically-oriented yet balanced textbook.
