Overview
Spoken by one-fifth of the world's population, Chinese differs significantly from most Indo-European languages in its grammar, lexicon, and written and spoken forms--features which have profound implications for the learning, representation and processing of language. The first in a three-volume set on East Asian psycholinguistics, this handbook includes contributions by over fifty leading scholars. It covers topics in first and second language acquisition, language processing and reading, language disorders in children and adults, and the relationships between language, brain, culture, and cognition.
