PSYCHOLINGUISTICS: LANGUAGE MIND AND WORLD 2ND EDITION

Danny D. Steinberg, Surugadai University, Japan; 
Hiroshi Nagata,Okayama University, Japan; 
David Aline, Kanagawa University, Japan.

This second edition of the successful text Psycholinguistics:
Language, Mind and World considers the psychology of language as it
relates to learning, mind and brain as well as various aspects of
society and culture. Current issues and research topics are presented
in an in-depth manner,although little or no specific knowledge of any
topic is presupposed.

The book is divided into four main parts:

* First Language Learning
* Second Language Learning
* Language, Mind and Brain
* Mental Grammar and Language Processing

These four sections include chapters covering areas such as: deaf
language education, first language acquisition and first language
reading, second language acquisition, language teaching and the
problems of bilingualism.

Updated throughout, this new edition also considers and proposes new
theories in psycholinguistics and linguistics, and introduces a new
theory of grammar, Natural Grammar, which is the only current grammar
that is based on the primacy of the psycholinguistic process of speech
comprehension, derives speech production from that process.

Written in an accessible and fluent style, Psycholinguistics:
Language, Mind and World will be of interest to students, lecturers
and researchers from linguistics, psychology, philosophy and second
language teaching.
