Abstract:
Psycholinguistics: Introduction and Applications, Second Edition is the first
textbook in psycholinguistics created for working language professionals and
students in speech-language pathology and language education, as well as for
students in psychology and linguistics. It provides a clear, lively
introduction to research and ideas about how human brains process language in
speaking, understanding, and reading. Within a unifying framework of the
constant interplay of bottom-up (sensory) and top-down (knowledge-based)
processing across all language uses and modalities, it is an integrated,
self-contained, fully updated account of psycholinguistics and its clinical
and pedagogical applications. In this second edition, author Lise Menn is
joined by leading brain researcher and aphasiologist, Nina Dronkers. The
significantly revised brain chapter contains current findings on brain
structure and function, including the roles of newly delineated fiber tracts
and language areas outside Broca's and Wernicke's areas. Fully-explained
examples are taken from Spanish and other languages as well as English.
Five core chapters (language description; brain structure and function;
pragmatic and semantic stages of speech production; syntactic, morphological,
phonological, and phonetic stages of speech production; and experimental
psycholinguistics) form the foundation for chapters, presenting classic and
recent research on aphasia, first language development, reading, and second
language learning. A final chapter demonstrates how linguistics and
psycholinguistics can and should inform classroom and clinical practice in
test design and error analysis, while also explaining the care that must be
taken in translating theoretically based ideas into such real-world
applications. Concepts from linguistics, neurology, and experimental
psychology are kept vivid by illustrations of their uses in the real world,
the clinic, and language teaching. Technical terms are clearly explained in
context and also in a large reference glossary.
