This is a comprehensive text on language and communication, written
from a social psychological perspective. It shows how language and
non-verbal activities are integrated in the process of
communication and looks at what language is used for and how it
works in context.
Assuming that students have not previously studied language at
tertiary level, the author first introduces them to the constituent
parts of language, how they fit together, and how they facilitate
communication. Succeeding chapters take the functions of language
in turn and illustrate how the particular units and structure
operate to serve these functions. For each topic the author
provides a brief review, evidence about the roles of verbal and
non-verbal activity, an evaluation of the current state of
knowledge in that area, and suggestions for future research.
Throughout the book, a variety of complementary psychological and
linguistic perspectives are represented. In all cases, descriptions
and explanations are accompanied by data and experimental findings,
ensuring a balanced approach.
