The New Psychology of Language is a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the psychology of language, delving into previously overlooked aspects such as the interplay between body and brain, social dimensions of language usage, and mental models. It presents a theoretical framework called the Language User Framework, which serves as a framework for discussing a wide range of core language activities.
How do we comprehend speech in conversations? How do we read books? How do we translate our thoughts into bodily signals (speech, gestures, facial expressions) when we speak? What occurs in the mind and brain when we master multiple languages? These and other aspects of language use are explored at the level of words, sentences, text, and discourse. Language is viewed as an embodied, embedded, incremental cognitive activity aimed at constructing and communicating rich and dynamic mental models.
Controversial topics in the field are highlighted in discussion boxes, while case studies and practical exercises offer insights into real-world examples. Illustrations depict key models of language processing, and concise chapter summaries provide a summary of key findings. Special attention is given to research techniques for investigating the psychology of language.
This accessible book is an essential resource for students studying psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, biology, language and communication sciences, and media studies. It is also valuable for a broader lay audience interested in language and communication.
In conclusion, The New Psychology of Language offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the psychology of language, shedding light on previously underappreciated aspects and providing a valuable framework for understanding language-related phenomena. Its accessibility and relevance make it an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
