Our ability to speak, write, understand speech and read is critical
to our ability to function in today's society. As such,
psycholinguistics, or the study of how humans learn and use
language, is a central topic in cognitive science. This
comprehensive handbook is a collection of chapters written not by
practitioners in the field, who can summarize the work going on
around them, but by trailblazers from a wide array of subfields,
who have been shaping the field of psycholinguistics over the last
decade. Some topics discussed include how children learn language,
how average adults understand and produce language, how language is
represented in the brain, how brain-damaged individuals perform in
terms of their language abilities and computer-based models of
language and meaning. This is required reading for advanced
researchers, graduate students and upper-level undergraduates who
are interested in the recent developments and the future of
psycholinguistics.
