About this title

Synopsis

The written word provides a major means of transmitting ideas and feelings freely throughout the human community. As such, it has been explored widely by linguists, anthropologists, philosophers, and educationalists each from their own particular orientation. Our approach is psychological--to analyze those processes by which the written word comes to be understood by the reader. In Part I of the book, we have tried to provide an introduction to the kinds of issues which are of central importance, and at the same time to lay a foundation for Part II. Part II itself presents a theory of the processes by which comprehension takes place.
