An Introduction to Psycholinguistics (Learning About Language) - Softcover

Reseña del editor

This book is a thorough introduction to psycholinguistics, and shows how the area relates to psychology, linguistics, philosophy and education. It focuses on how young children acquire language and demonstrates how sign language helps us to gain a deeper understanding of the acquisition process. It also explores more complex and challenging topics such as mental grammar and sentence processing, the relationship of language to thought and culture to the brain. Other topics include second language acquisition processes, teaching methods and the cognitive impact of bilingualism.
