This book provides an overview of the structures, topics and main theories of syntactic processing. It covers the last 40 years of sentence-level psycholinguistic research and debates and makes it accessible to both theoretical linguists and experimental psychologists. 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.

The Psycholinguistics of Words, Sentences and Discourse introduces the way words, sentences and discourse live in the mind. Actual language use is about putting together words into syntactic frames that make sense in a specific context. This book provides an overview of the many mental processes involved in that, explaining how the mind conjures up specific words and syntactic structures in a particular situation of discourse.The book:Offers an overview of historic research milestones as well as more recent developments and research in psycholinguisticsIntroduces how words, sentences and discourse are processed in the mindAnswers questions such as what is needed to develop a linguistic capacity, and how current technology can help us enter the linguistic mind with a chapter on AI and languageIncludes definitions of key linguistic terms, chapter outlines, discussion questions, suggestions for further reading and summaries of key pointsThis entertaining and informed introduction to the psychological reality of the human language faculty will be of interest to students and researchers in psycholinguistics, experimental psychology and artificial intelligence.
