The second edition of the book on language comprehension in honor
of Pim Levelt's sixtieth birthday has been released before he turns
sixty-one. Some things move faster than the years of age. This
seems to be especially true for advances in science. Therefore, the
present edition entails changes in some of the chapters and
incorporates an update of the current literature. I would like to
thank all contributors for their cooperation in making a second
edition possible such a short time after the completion of the
first one. Angela D. Friederici Leipzig, November 23, 1998. Preface
to the first edition Language comprehension and production is a
uniquely human capability. We know little about the evolution of
language as a human trait, possibly because our direct ancestors
lived several million years ago. This fact certainly impedes the
desirable advances in the biological basis of any theory of
language evolution. Our knowledge about language as an existing
species-specific biological sys tem, however, has advanced
dramatically over the last two decades. New experi mental
techniques have allowed the investigation of language and language
use within the methodological framework of the natural sciences.
The present book provides an overview of the experimental research
in the area of language com prehension in particular."
