Language Processing (Studies in Cognition) - Hardcover

""This volume contains some excellent, and much-needed, reviews of certain topics in language processing.the editors have done a good job of identifying a niche which certainly required filling....I found that several of the chapters in this collection were useful for my own work, and welcome this addition to the literature." -Gerry Altmann, University of York."

Language Processing questions what happens when we process language - what mental operations occur during processing and how they are organised over time. The last decade has seen real advances in the study of language processing that have wide ranging implications for human cognition in general. Language Processing gives an account of these developments both as they relate to experimental studies of processing and as they relate to computational modelling of the processes. In addition to chapters covering core topics, such as lexical processing, syntactic parsing and the comprehension of discourse, special topics of recent interest are also included.
