Originally published in 1985, this title was an important new
teaching text at the time. Alan Garnham focuses on current theories
about the central cognitive aspects of language understanding, and
attempts to reflect the emergence of cognitive science, an
inter-disciplinary approach to the study of language and other
cognitive processes. As well as describing psychological studies,
the text includes ideas from linguistics, artificial intelligence,
the philosophy of language and formal logic. Some introductory
remarks on the study of language understanding precede a discussion
of word recognition and the computation of the syntactic structure
of sentences. The central part of the book is concerned with
questions about meaning, the mental representation of word
meanings, and text comprehension. The final two chapters address
questions of how the parts of the language processing system
operate together, and how language production is related to
comprehension. Rather than attempting an exhaustive discussion of
empirical research on his chosen topics, the author gives the
reader the flavour of linguistic arguments. In particular,
Psycholinguistics attempts to indicate the problems and also the
possibilities of relating experimental data to theories of language
processing. Psycholinguistics will still be useful reading on
courses in psycholinguistics, language and thought, and cognitive
psychology.
