Psycholinguistic Approaches to the Study of Linguistic Structures

How do we understand what we hear or read? How do we do it when what we hear or read is uncommon, ambiguous, non-canonical, or unexpected? How does being bilingual or suffering from a pathology affect our ability to understand the myriad of linguistic structures around us and, consequently, our ability to use them?This edited volume brings together cutting-edge experimental studies that untangle how speakers with different profiles understand and use linguistic structures of very different natures. The reader will find a detailed overview of the experimental models and techniques that can be applied to their study from a psycholinguistic approach.
