In this accessible introduction, Mike Sharwood Smith provides a
working model or 'map' of the mind, with language as its
centrepiece. Drawing on cutting-edge research across linguistics,
psychology and neuroscience, it allows students to quickly grasp
how each separate aspect of the mind's operations can be related.
This 'big picture' view includes the way the mind makes, stores and
loses memories of all kinds as well how its various 'expert
systems' combine and collaborate to solve, typically beyond our
conscious awareness, the myriad of tasks we are faced with every
minute and millisecond of our existence. The book also focuses on
language, that is, the mind of monolingual, bilingual and
multilingual speakers. It will be of interest to all students
wishing to learn more about the complex relationship between
language - one of the most important ways in which we define
ourselves as human - and the mind.
