- How is language represented in the brain?
- How do we understand ambiguous language?
- How carefully do we really listen to speakers?
- How is sign language similar to and different from spoken
language?
- How does having expertise in multiple languages work?
Answering these questions and more, "Psycholinguistics 101"
provides an introduction to how language is stored and processed by
mind and brain. The study of psycholinguistics incorporates
interdisciplinary research from psychology, linguistics, computer
science, neuroscience, and cognitive science. By understanding the
processes that underlie language ability, we can help develop more
effective ways to teach languages and understand differences in
reading abilities.
This book introduces the reader to the basic issues in
psycholinguistic research, including its history and the
methodologies typically employed in these studies. Key topics
discussed include information flow, language representation, and
sign language.
