Psycholinguistic Approaches to the Study of Linguistic Structures: Language in the Mind

How do we understand what we hear or read? How do we do it when what we hear or read is uncommon, ambiguous, non-canonical, or unexpected? How does being bilingual or suffering from a pathology affect our ability to understand the myriad of linguistic structures around us and, consequently, our ability to use them? This edited volume brings together cutting-edge experimental studies that untangle how speakers with different profiles understand and use linguistic structures of very different natures. The reader will find a detailed overview of the experimental models and techniques that can be applied to their study from a psycholinguistic approach.
