著作简介

Language in Mind  — An Introduction to Psycholinguistics Second Edition

《头脑中的语言：心理语言学导论》（第二版）

摘要：

专业作家、研究员朱莉·塞迪维编写的《头脑中的语言》（第二版）对心理语言学的研究、理论及其应用的学习进行了通俗易懂的介绍。本书介绍了一种基于研究的方法。通过“研究人员在行动”这一新特色，展示“大脑中的语言”的实验过程。这种方法不仅可以突出心理语言学家发现的内容，更能着重强调他们发现的过程。

为了加深学生对该领域研究的了解，强化科学思维，本书对该领域的原始文献和辩论进行了批判性的研究。同时，本书将理论与日常现象相结合，以此完善心理语言学的研究。本书的独特之处是包含一个强大的四色插图程序，该程序能对棘手的研究材料进行深入的解释说明。

Abstract:

Written by a professional writer and researcher, Julie Sedivy's Language in Mind, Second Edition provides an exceptionally accessible introduction to the challenging task of learning psycholinguistic research, theory, and application. Offering a research-based approach-supported by the new "Researchers at Work" feature which shows the process of conducting an experiment-Language in Mind emphasizes not just what psycholinguists know, but how they've come to know it.

To deepen the student's exposure to research and scientific thinking, which is an important skill in follow-up courses, the text also includes a critical examination of primary literature and the debates in the field (supported by the in-text "Digging Deeper" feature; and online with Web Activities and "Language at Large" modules).To complete the study of psycholinguistics, the text establishes connections between theory and everyday phenomena (supported by Boxes and "Questions to Contemplate" features). A robust 4-color illustration program distinguishes this book from others, and further explains and illustrates challenging material.
