Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - 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.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This handbook offers comprehensive insights into the language-writing nexus of the Korean alphabet, Hangul. Recognized by international linguists and historians as the most scientifically designed and efficient script, Hangul's uniqueness lies in its effective integration of the alphabetic principle into syllabic blocks. The volume challenges the dominant Eurocentric research trend by extending the body of knowledge to include Korean. The Korean alphabetis uniquely differentfrom the Chinese and Japanese writing systems and the Latin alphabet.The state-of-the-art reflections on the Korean language, its alphabet, and its processingare organizedinto five parts, including (1) spoken language and written language, (2) processing at thelexicallevel, (3) processing at the sentential level, (4) acquisition of Korean as L1 and L2, and (5) future directions in theory, methodology, pedagogy, and more.The volume is written by leading Korean and non-Korean specialists in relevant fields across the world. It discusses Hangul-specific theories, script-specific empirical evidence, and syllable-based pedagogical practices. With the current Korean cultural wave(a.k.a., Hallyu; e.g., K-pop, K-dramas, K-movies, etc.) spreadingacross the world, this Handbook is timely and serves as a signpost to future research and practice. This collection of chapters serves as an authoritative vade mecum, offering scientifically grounded discussions on the complex mechanisms involved in reading and text processing while remaining accessible to students, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.…

This book is divided into nine parts: (1) Introduction, (2) Alphabetic Writing Systems (3) Chinese, (4) Japanese, (5) Korean, (6) Abugidas or Alphasyllabaries, (7) Under-studied Writing Systems, (8) Abjads, and (9) Implications and Future Research.
