1. Language In Mind
An Introduction to Psycholinguistics
An accessible introduction to how the human mind processes language, tracing the journey from sounds to words, sentences, and discourse, and from language production to comprehension. It synthesizes classic and contemporary experiments to illuminate mechanisms like speech perception, lexical access, syntactic parsing, and pragmatic inference, while grounding them in cognitive, neural, and developmental perspectives. The book also highlights bilingualism, language acquisition, and the research methods that reveal how language operates in everyday communication.
