Talking the Talk provides a comprehensive introduction to the
psychology of language, written for the reader with no background
in the field or any prior knowledge of psychology. Written in an
accessible and friendly style, the book answers the questions
people actually have about language; how do we speak, listen, read,
and learn language? The book advocates an experimental approach,
explaining how psychologists can use experiments to build models of
language processing. Considering the full breadth of
psycholinguistics, the book covers core topics including how
children acquire language, how language is related to the brain,
and what can go wrong with it. Fully updated throughout, this
edition also includes: Additional coverage on the genetics of
language Insight into potential cognitive advantages of
bilingualism New content on brain imaging and neuroscience
Increased emphasis on recursion and what is special about language
Talking the Talk is written in an engaging style which does not
hesitate to explain complex concepts. It is essential reading for
all undergraduate students and those new to the topic, as well as
the interested lay reader.
