Introduction to Psycholinguistics (eBook)

Matt Traxler is Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Davis. He edited The Handbook of Psycholinguistics (with Morton Ann Gernsbacher, 2006). He currently serves as associate editor on the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology and Language and Linguistics Compass. He is also a consulting editor at the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition. When Dr. Traxler is not at work at the university, he will often be found stalking the wily rainbow trout.

This textbook is modern, thorough, witty, and deeply
instructive. At last, students of the psychology of language
(in the classroom and out) have a book they'll value and
enjoy.

wit. Students will find the text quite accessible, and instructors
will appreciate the rigorous content.

It's all here, from Nim to Noam, and "the horse raced past the
barn" to the elephant in Groucho's pants. Traxler covers the
subject matter of modern psycholinguistics with thoroughness and
panache.

Engaging and witty, this is a refreshing and informative
textbook on the psychology of language that will appeal to students
and teachers alike.
