Product Description

Review

Praise for the first edition:

"An excellent and very welcome guide to psycholinguistics ... highly recommended." – The Washington Post

Product Description

In this revised edition, Jean Aitchison has taken account of the considerable changes in Chomsky’s recent ideas. As a result, the chapters on grammatical innateness, child language acquisition and speech comprehension have been largely rewritten.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining material, 23 Sep 2004

By	Mr. Daniel Miller "Mr DM" (somewhere) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Articulate Mammal: An Introduction to Psycholinguistics (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

Jean Aitcheson has always possessed something of a jocular yet intelligent style, and this book is no exception. Providing a window onto the more complicated aspects of psycholinguistics such as language acquisition, generative grammar and animal communication she manages to present the material in a pleasant and informative work which synthesises the main points in a relevant and detailed manner. I have always admired Aitcheson's proclivity for doing this, and for this book she is to be congratulated.

5.0 out of 5 stars An antidote to Pinker, 10 Dec 2007

By	Geoffrey Cockayne (Wolverhampton, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Jean Aitchison is a Reith lecturer and professor of Language at Oxford University. Unsurprisingly therefore this book is both readable and authoritative.

Where Steven Pinker's 'The Language Instinct' is described as 'dazzling' by a reviewer this book is 'engaging' and 'wonderfully informative'. I agree on both counts.

If you want well argued (though well informed) propaganda, read Pinker. If you want a balanced, academically sound (yet readable) account of how all of us come to command the most mind-bogglingly complex communication system ever devised, read this book.
