Autor Trevor A. Harley

Talking the Talk provides a comprehensive introduction to the psychology of language, written for the reader with no background in the field or any prior knowledge of psychology. Written in an accessible and friendly style, the book answers the questions people actually have about language; how do we speak, listen, read, and learn language?
The book advocates an experimental approach, explaining how psychologists can use experiments to build models of language processing. Considering the full breadth of psycholinguistics, the book covers core topics including how children acquire language, how language is related to the brain, and what can go wrong with it. Fully updated throughout, this edition also includes:
  • Additional coverage on the genetics of language
  • Insight into potential cognitive advantages of bilingualism
  • New content on brain imaging and neuroscience
  • Increased emphasis on recursion and what is special about language
Talking the Talk is written in an engaging style which does not hesitate to explain complex concepts. It is essential reading for all undergraduate students and those new to the topic, as well as the interested lay reader.

Descriere

Language makes us human, but how do we use it and how do children learn it? Talking the Talk is an introduction to the psychology of language. The book is written for an audience with no background in the area or knowledge of psychology; it explains how we actually ‘do’ language: how we speak, listen, and read.
This book provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to psycholinguistics, which is the study of the psychological processes involved in language. It shows how it’s possible to study language experimentally, and how psychologists use these experiments to build models of language processing. Structured around questions that people often ask about language, the emphasis of Talking the Talk is on how scientific knowledge can be applied to practical problems. It also stresses how language is related to other aspects of psychology, particularly in whether animals can learn language, and the relation between language and thought.
