While there are other undergraduate textbooks available, there are no other books pitched at this (very) introductory level so it should be well received. Psycholinguistics can seem very complex so we anticipate that this user-friendly workbook will be well received by students and teachers on both AS/A2 level and beginning undergraduate level courses.

Psycholinguistics is a growing area and all our books on it, filling gaps in the market, do well: the latest edition of The Articulate Mammal has sold 12,000+ paperbacks since '98, Psycholinguistics in the RELI series has sold 1500 paperbacks since Feb '03, and Psycholinguistics: Key Concepts has sold 600 paperbacks in 4 months - evidence that there is room for a number of books in the area.

Covers the core areas: language and the mind, vocabulary and language processing, and includes a large number of real examples and exercises.
