À propos de cet ebook
Tying linguistically relevant issues to psycholinguistic theory, this book:
- Covers the processing of the grammatical phenomena adjunction, agreement and gap filling and discusses the relationship between grammars and parsers
- Discusses experimental work and theories, demonstrating how psychologists have made real strides in understanding language and how studying the processing of syntactic structure is the same as studying the nature of language
- Explores the key theories of psycholinguistics, including recent developments
- Explains the different methodologies of sentence processing, such as eye-tracking and electroencephalography
Bridging the gap between psycholinguistic research and the study of language, this book is essential reading for advanced students and scholars of linguistics and experimental psycholinguistics as well as cognitive science and psychology.
