Abstract:

A large body of knowledge has accumulated in recent years on the cognitive
processes underlying language, much of which comes from studies of
Indo-European languages, in particular English. This groundbreaking volume
explores the languages of South and Southeast Asia, which differ significantly
from Indo-European languages in their grammar, lexicon and spoken forms. This
book raises new questions in psycholinguistics and enables readers to
re-evaluate previous models in light of new research. With thirty-six chapters
divided into three parts - Language Acquisition, Language Processing and
Language and Brain - it examines contemporary topics alongside new findings in
areas such as first and second language acquisition, the development of
literacy, the diagnosis of language and reading disorders, and the
relationship between language, brain, culture and cognition. It will be
invaluable to all those interested in the languages of South and Southeast
Asia, as well as psychologists, linguists, educationalists, speech therapists
and neuroscientists.
