Abstract:

In a work that is part memoir, part monograph, Nigel Duffield offers a set of
lyrical reflections on theories of Psycholinguistics, which is concerned with
how speakers use the languages they control, as well as with how such control
is acquired in the first place. Written for professionals and enthusiastic
amateurs alike, this book offers a 'well-tempered' examination of the
conceptual and empirical foundations of the field. In developing his ideas,
the author draws on thirty years of direct professional experience of
psycholinguistic theory and practice, across various sub-disciplines,
including theoretical linguistics, cognitive psychology, philosophy, and
philology. The author's personal experience as a language learner - more
importantly, as the father of three bilingual children - also plays a crucial
role in shaping the discussion. Using examples from popular literature, song,
poetry, and comedy, the work examines many of the foundational questions that
divide researchers from different intellectual traditions: these include the
nature of 'linguistic competence', the arbitrariness of language, and the
theoretical implications of variation between speakers and across languages.
