This text explores why it is white ethnicity has been rendered
invisible, arguing that contemporary people's conceptions of
themselves are conditioned by, and derive from, the unknown and
forgotten legacy of a colonial past that cannot be confined to the
past.
Examining the ways in which majority Western cultures govern,
represent and exclude those that are considered to be ethically
"other," this book asks what is the impact of globalization,
governance and Western immigration controls on the construction of
the majority "self" and the minority "other"?

Spoken Word Recognition covers the entire range of processes
involved in recognizing spoken words - both in and out of context.
It brings together a number of essays dealing with important
theoretical questions raised by the study of spoken word
recognition - among them, how do we understand fluent speech as
efficiently and effortlessly as we do? What are the mental
processes and representations involved when we recognize spoken
words? How do these differ from those involved in reading written
words? What information is stored in our mental lexicon and how is
it structured? What do linguistic and computational theories tell
us about these psychological processes and representations?The
multidisciplinary presentation of work by phoneticians, linguists,
psychologists, and computer scientists reflects the growing
interest in spoken word recognition from a number of different
perspectives. It is a natural consequence of the mediating role
that lexical representations and processes play in language
understanding, linking sound with meaning.Following the editors'
introduction, the contributions and their authors are:
Acoustic-Phonetic Representation in Word Recognition (David B.
Pisoni and Paul A. Luce). Phonological Parsing and Lexical
Retrieval (Kenneth W. Church). Parallel Processing in Spoken Word
Recognition (William D. Marslen-Wilson). A Reader's View of
Listening (Dianne C. Bradley and Kenneth I. Forster). Prosodic
Structure and Spoken Word Recognition (Francois Grosjean and James
Paul Gee). Structure in Auditory Word Recognition (Lyn Frazier).
The Mental Representation of the Meaning of Words (P. N.
Johnson-Laird). Context Effects in Lexical Processing (Michael K.

Experimental Psychology at the University of Cambridge. Spoken Word
Recognition is in a series that is derived from special issues of
