The Psychology of Language, 3rd Edition is a thorough revision and update of the popular second edition.
"Trevor Harley provides a systematic and lucid introduction to the scientific study of human language use. He traverses a complex range of topics from foundational theory and experiment to practical matters of pedagogy and pathology. It's a winning combination delivered with wit, balanced accuracy, and admirable directness of style." — Professor Merrill Garrett, Psychology Department, University of Arizona
"Harley's book offers an excellent means of enhancing our understanding of language. It provides a clear, comprehensive and thorough review of the current state of play in psycholinguistics, making it an ideal choice for advanced undergraduate and graduate students." — Annukka Lindell, University of Wales, Bangor
"Harley has thoroughly revised his very successful textbook on psycholinguistics in light of new research. The coverage of this work is quite remarkable and it constitutes the ideal resource for advanced undergraduate students, postgraduate students and researchers interested in the field." — Martin Pickering, University of Edinburgh
"I have been using Harley's text in my 3rd year undergraduate 'Psychology of Language' course since the first edition came out because I believe its coverage of the important issues are comprehensive and scholarly while being highly accessible and intellectually stimulating. My students have always found it to be a very useful resource in helping them understand language processing." — Marcus Taft, University of New South Wales
"I want this book for me, not just for my students. For the student, it's an exceptionally thorough, but lively, introduction to language use in a wider context. For me, it's a valuable reminder of psycholinguistics' evolution from its concerns with the psychological reality of grammar, to its current spot at the center of modern cognitive neuroscience." — Gary S. Dell, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
