Psychologie des Sprache
Berlin; Heidelberg; New York: Springer, 1967. First edition. Hardcover. Quarto. XI, [1], 395, [1]pp. Original printed wrappers over blue cloth with white lettering on front cover and spine. First edition of this authoritative work on psycholinguistics or psychology of language. This book is the study of the psychological and neurobiological factors that enable humans to acquire, use, comprehend and produce language. Initial forays into psycholinguistics were largely philosophical ventures, due mainly to a lack of cohesive data on how the human brain functioned. Modern research makes use of biology, neuroscience, cognitive science, linguistics, and information theory to study how the brain processes language. There are a number of subdisciplines with non-invasive techniques for studying the neurological workings of the brain; for example, neurolinguistics has become a field in its own right. Psycholinguistics covers the cognitive processes that make it possible to generate a grammatical and meaningful sentence out of vocabulary and grammatical structures, as well as the processes that make it possible to understand utterances, words, text, etc. Minor age-wear on wrappers with slight age-toning on spine and along edges. Tiny closed tear on upper front joint and tail of spine. Slight age-toning along paper margin. Text in German. Wrappers in overall good, binding and interior in very good condition. vg. Item #27959
