This wide-ranging introduction to the psychology of human language
use offers a new breadth of approach by breaching conventional
disciplinary boundaries with examples and perspectives drawn from
many subdisciplines - cognitive and social psychology,
psycholinguistics, neuropsychology and sociology. After an
exploration of the diverse nature of communication, using examples
throughout the animal kingdom, the authors focus on the range of
human communicative channels, the nature of human language and the
variations occurring between and within societies and cultures.
Subsequent chapters cover speech production as a psycholinguistic
skill; the coordination of verbal and non-verbal channels; the
structure and management of conversations; language perception and
comprehension; the cognitive neuropsychology of language, and the
development of communicative skills. The book also presents an
informative and entertaining historical perspective, and
illustrates the fact that insights gained into controversial
problems in other fields and at other times can shed light on many
of today's most contentious debates in psychology.
