Focusing on the intersection of language and psychology, this book offers a clear and approachable guide to psycholinguistics. It covers essential research, theories, and practical applications, making complex concepts easier to grasp for learners. Ideal for those new to the field, it emphasizes understanding how language functions in the mind and its implications for communication and cognition.

Julie Sedivy takes on the science and politics of language loss, offering lessons for the renewal and preservation of heritage languages, alongside her own moving story of language loss and accompanying personal crisis.
