| Summary: | How do we manage to speak and understand language? How do children acquire these skills and how does the brain support them?These psycholinguistic issues have been studied for more than two centuries. Though many Psycholinguists tend to consider their history as beginning with the Chomskyan ""cognitive revolution"" of the late 1950s/1960s, the history of empirical psycholinguistics actually goes back to the end of the 18th century. This is the first book to comprehensively treat this ""pre-Chomskyan"" history. It tells the fascinating history of the doctors, pedagogues, linguists and psycholog. |
