Psychology

For junior/senior-level courses in Psycholinguistics and The Psychology of Language.

A comprehensive survey of classic and cutting edge research, this text shows how people comprehend, produce, and acquire language—and represents how powerful language processes are, and the importance of language in everyday life. It looks at emotional aspects of language processing in social contexts, and extends beyond the usual emphasis on structural aspects of language to include pragmatic and functional forces—demonstrating not just “what language is” but also “what language does.”

• Extensive application of psycholinguistic research to everyday life—e.g., mental health; reading and writing processes; courtroom language; advertising; and child rearing.

  • Helps students realize the importance of language research, enhances their understanding of topics, and interests them in the basic structural aspects of language.

• Emphasis on emotion—i.e., the emotional consequences of language that include politeness; taboo; sexuality; humor; sarcasm; and social political thought.

  • Gives students an accurate perspective on human communication and justifies the inclusion of recent neurological and brain-imaging research—which is the direction the field is headed.

• A focus on the use of language in social situations and interaction.

  • Enables students to apply the ideas behind the basic research to forces in their own lives such as professional, personal, and educational goals.

• Chapter-opening set of critical thinking questions.

  • Familiarizes students and gets them interested in what lies ahead, and exposes the content and structure of the material in the chapter.

• Chapter-end summaries—Revisits chapter-opening questions.

  • Offers students the opportunity to review and check their understanding of key content before moving on.

• Chapter exercises and boxed features throughout—Contains discussion questions; special topics; and review questions.

  • Highlights important material and stimulates students' interest in the text.

• Chapter-end lists of Suggested Readings and Websites—Features both classic and cutting-edge references.
