This is a thorough revision and update of the popular first edition. Comprehensive and contemporary, it contains all the student needs to know on the topic, presenting often difficult material in a lively and accessible way. There is coverage of all the core topics in Language in the undergraduate curriculum and the author interweaves evidence from the various approaches including cognitive psychology, neuropsychology and connectionist modelling. This edition includes expanded coverage of many topics including reading development, bilingualism and language and memory.
