The Psychology of Language

Welcome

This fully revised edition of The Psychology of Language provides an up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to the psychology of language for undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers. It contains everything you need to know about how we acquire, understand, produce, and store language.

Whilst maintaining both the structure of the previous editions and the emphasis on cognitive processing, this fourth edition has been thoroughly updated to include:

• the latest research, including recent results from the fast-moving field of brain imaging and studies
• updated coverage of key ideas and models
• an expanded glossary
• more real-life examples and illustrations.

The Psychology of Language, Fourth Edition describes complex ideas in a clear and approachable style, and assumes no prior knowledge other than a grounding in the basic concepts of cognitive psychology.
