Summary:"The Nature of Language will be a unique approach to psycholinguistics, focusing more on the nature of cognition than on individual sub-fields of inquiry in psycholinguistics. This book presents the field of psycholinguistics as an intellectual adventure. It seeks to be accessible to students with a variety of backgrounds and to support a learning experience that is rich in both wonder and new information. The key design feature of the book is its emphasis on the integrated nature of language processing. We do not simply process words, or sentences, or texts, but all of these together. Normal conversations involve a dance of both speaking and listening. We use language to read each other's minds and to change each other's minds. These facts are emphasized in the organization of this book and the presentation of the issues and knowledge within it"-- Provided by publisher.
