The Handbook of Psycholinguistics
Incorporating approaches from linguistics and psychology, The Handbook of Psycholinguistics explores language processing and language acquisition from an array of perspectives and features cutting edge research from cognitive science, neuroscience, and other related fields.

The Handbook provides readers with a comprehensive review of the current state of the field, with an emphasis on research trends most likely to determine the shape of psycholinguistics in the years ahead. The chapters are organized into three parts, corresponding to the major areas of psycholinguists: production, comprehension, and acquisition. The collection of chapters, written by a team of international scholars, incorporates multilingual populations and neurolinguistic dimensions. Each of the three sections also features an overview chapter in which readers are introduced to the different theoretical perspectives guiding research in the area covered in that section.

Timely, comprehensive, and authoritative, The Handbook of Psycholinguistics is a valuable addition to the reference shelves of researchers in psychology, linguistics, and cognitive science, as well as advanced undergraduates and graduate students interested in how language works in the human mind and how language is acquired.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Fernandez and Cairns have assembled a fascinationg collection of chapters on critical topics in language production, comprehension, and acquisition that do justice to the richness of psycholinguistic research on language, including bilingualism, sign language, and language disorders. Each broad section is introduced by an excellent overview placing the chapters in a larger context. This Handbook is a must-read for all students of language." - Lynn Frazier, University of Massachusetts, USA
