This fully-revised text provides discussion on the abstract topic of the psychology of language. Using an information-processing approach, David Carroll brings the current developments and controversies in psycholinguistics to students in a comprehensive style and sets them in an historical context. Functional in its approach, the book fills the need for an up-to-date, clearly written, even-handed treatment of the field.
