Considering the full breadth of psycholinguistics, the book covers core topics including how children acquire language, how language is related to the brain, and what can go wrong with it. Fully updated throughout, this edition also includes: Additional coverage on the genetics of languageInsight into potential cognitive advantages of bilingualismNew content on brain imaging and neuroscienceIncreased emphasis on recursion and what is special about languageTalking the Talk is written in an engaging style which does not hesitate to explain complex concepts.
