Breaking through the boundaries of traditional psycholinguistics textbooks, The Psychology of Language: An Integrated Approach takes an integrated, cross-cultural approach that weaves the latest developmental and neuroscience research into every chapter. Separate chapters on bilingualism and sign language and integrated coverage of the social aspects of language acquisition and language use provide a breadth of coverage not found in other texts. In addition, rich pedagogy in every chapter and an engaging conversational writing style help students understand the connections between core psycholinguistic material and findings from across the psychological sciences.

Too general. I was looking for a deeper level, more research based

Very intense and compact introduction that goes well beyond the essentials of an overview into psycholinguistics. Complicated matters convincingly put into neat and vivid explanations and graphics.

A very nicely presented book covering a wide range of traditional topics and including more contemporary research findings. Useful glossary and wide range of referenced journal articles.
