Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics

The Acquisition of Creole Languages How Children Surpass their Input Dany Adone University of Cologne In this first book of its kind, Dany Adone demonstrates how children acquire Creoles as their first language and how this differs from the acquisition of non-Creole languages. She shows that in the absence of a conventional language model, Creole children acquire language and go beyond the input they receive.

• Explains for the first time how Creole children acquire complex structures in their first language • Demonstrates that in Creole languages, children’s acquisition of complex structures surpass their input • Experimental data supports the challenge to established models of language acquisition

The Emergence of Meaning Stephen Crain Macquarie University, Sydney Using the examples of English and Mandarin Chinese, Crain demonstrates that the underlying expressions and structures in these typologically different languages directly correlate to those of classical logic. Moreover Crain presents experimental data which shows the emergence of these concepts in the languages spoken by young children.

• An investigation into the underlying logic of human languages which looks at how children acquire English and Mandarin.

• Includes a step-by-step introduction to logic and a comprehensive review of the literature on child language acquisition, making the argumentation accessible to those previously unfamiliar with either field • Uses examples from both Mandarin Chinese and English to demonstrate the common underlying logic of human languages • Argues for a logical nativism based on Chomsky’s innateness hypothesis

Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics

The Bilingual Mind and what it tells us about language and thought Aneta Pavlenko Temple University, Philadelphia If language influences the way we think, does it mean that bilinguals think differently in their respective languages? Interweaving cutting edge research, case studies, and personal experience, this book will take you on a quest to unlock the mysteries of the bilingual mind.

• The book merges psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic approaches and will appeal to readers from a variety of backgrounds • Every chapter is supplemented with tables that summarize the key studies in the area, this is useful for readers unfamiliar with the research, providing a cheat-sheet with information on studies that are not easily accessible • Discussion of scholarly research is interweaved with case studies of famous bi- and multilinguals, such as Nabokov and Chagall, these studies link academic research to everyday life, making the book more lively and accessible

Mind, Brain and Narrative Anthony J. Sanford University of Glasgow

and Catherine Emmott University of Glasgow Writers use a variety of language features to control readers’ experiences, from the way they construct fictional contexts and nonfictional contexts to the moral and emotional responses they have. In this timely, interdisciplinary work, Sanford and Emmott examine the psychological and neuroscientific evidence for the mechanisms which underlie narrative comprehension.

The Multilingual Mind A Modular Processing Perspective Michael Sharwood Smith Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh

and John Truscott National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan Language lies at the heart of the way we think, communicate and view the world. Most people on this planet are in some sense multilingual. The Multilingual Mind explores, within a processing perspective, how languages share space and interact in our minds.

• Discusses language within a broader framework of cognition and integrates compatible perspectives from specialist fields • Integrates current trends in cognitive science so readers can gain easy access to relevant research from different disciplines • Treats multilingualism and second language acquisition as particular instances of language acquisition so readers can learn about broader based approaches to language learning

Output-Driven Phonology Theory and Learning Bruce Tesar Rutgers University, New Jersey In this book Bruce Tesar, one of the founders of the study of learnability in Optimality Theory, presents the theory of outputdriven maps and provides a fresh perspective on the extent to which phonologies can be characterized in terms of restrictions on outputs.
