One of the liveliest forums for sharing psychological, linguistic,
philosophical, and computer science perspectives on
psycholinguistics has been the annual meeting of the CUNY Sentence
Processing Conference. Documenting the state of the art in several
important approaches to sentence processing, this volume consists
of selected papers that had been presented at the Sixth CUNY
Conference. The editors not only present the main themes that ran
through the conference but also honor the breadth of the
presentations from disciplines including linguistics, experimental
psychology, and computer science. The variety of sentence
processing topics examined includes:
* how evoked brain potentials reflect sentence comprehension
* how auditory words are processed
* how various sources of grammatical and nongrammatical
information are coordinated and used
* how sentence processing and language acquisition might be
related.
This distinctive volume not only presents the most exciting
current work in sentence processing, but also places this research
into the broader context of theorizing about it.

Reading is a highly complex skill that is prerequisite to success
in many societies in which a great deal of information is
communicated in written form. Since the 1970s, much has been
learned about the reading process from research by cognitive
psychologists. This book summarizes that important work and puts it
into a coherent framework. The book's central theme is how readers
go about extracting information from the printed page and
comprehending the text. Like its predecessor, this thoroughly
updated 2nd Edition encompasses all aspects of the psychology of
reading with chapters on writing systems, word recognition, the
work of the eyes during reading, inner speech, sentence processing,
discourse processing, learning to read, dyslexia, individual
differences and speed reading. Psychology of Reading, 2nd Edition,
is essential reading for undergraduates, graduates, and researchers
in cognitive psychology and could be used as a core textbook on
courses on the psychology of reading and related topics. In
addition, the clear writing style makes the book accessible to
people without a background in psychology but who have a personal
or professional interest in the process of reading.

This book contains papers that were written to honor Professor Lyn
Frazier on the occasion of her retirement from the University of
Massachusetts Amherst. Some were presented at the Lynschrift on May
19-20, 2018; others were written especially for this volume. The
papers report original research on, or research-based theoretical
analyses of, several of the domains that Professor Frazier
contributed to during her career. The volume begins with a brief
overview of Professor Frazier's research contributions and an
appreciation of the contributions she has made to the field of
psycholinguistics and to her students and colleagues. The next
several chapters discuss the roles that prosody plays in language
processing, and the volume continues with chapters on the topic
that established Professor Frazier as a major psycholinguistic
theorist, syntactic processing. The volume then explores the roles
semantics and pragmatics play in language comprehension, and
concludes with reports of applications and extensions of research
on language processing. All chapters were contributed by current
and former students and colleagues of Professor Frazier in
gratitude for the impact she has had on their lives and careers.
