Series: Current Issues in the Psychology of Language

Linguistic Morphology is a unique collection of cutting-edge research in the psycholinguistics of morphology, offering a comprehensive overview of this interdisciplinary field.

This book brings together world-leading experts from linguisics, experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience to examine morphology research from different disciplines. It provides an overview of how the brain deals with complex words; examining how they are easier to read, how they affect our brain dynamics and eye movements, how they mould the acquisition of language and literacy, and how they inform computational models of the linguistic brain. Chapters discuss topics ranging from subconscious visual identification to the high-level processing of sentences, how children make their first steps with complex words through to how proficient adults make lexical identification in less than 40 milliseconds.

As a state-of-the-art resource in morphology research, this book will be highly relevant reading for students and researchers of linguistics, psychology and cognitive neuroscience. It will also act as a one-stop shop for experts in the field.

Reviews for Linguistic Morphology in the Mind and Brain

This volume is an essential new reference for psycholinguistic approaches to morphology. It presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the most important findings and theories in the domain, and will appeal to both experts and newcomers within the field. The topics chosen invite the reader to consider morphology from a range of perspectives, and thus to appreciate the profound relationship between linguistic structure, acquisition, and processing. -- Professor Kathy Rastle, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK The study of word processing provides a fantastic window on the human mind. This volume provides an excellent and authorative guide to the state-of-the-art in present-day research on how words are processed, from all relevant perspectives: production and perception, speech and writing, and the acquisition of these abilities. This book is therefore an indispensable guide for students and researchers in this domain of psycholinguistic research. -- Geert Booij, Emeritus Professor of Linguistics, Leiden University, Netherlands
