著作简介

Language in Mind  — An Introduction to Psycholinguistics Second Edition

《头脑中的语言：心理语言学导论》（第二版）

摘要：

专业作家、研究员朱莉·塞迪维编写的《头脑中的语言》（第二版）对心理语言学的研究、理论及其应用的学习进行了通俗易懂的介绍。本书介绍了一种基于研究的方法。通过“研究人员在行动”这一新特色，展示“大脑中的语言”的实验过程。这种方法不仅可以突出心理语言学家发现的内容，更能着重强调他们发现的过程。

为了加深学生对该领域研究的了解，强化科学思维，本书对该领域的原始文献和辩论进行了批判性的研究。同时，本书将理论与日常现象相结合，以此完善心理语言学的研究。本书的独特之处是包含一个强大的四色插图程序，该程序能对棘手的研究材料进行深入的解释说明。

Abstract:

Written by a professional writer and researcher, Julie Sedivy's Language in Mind, Second Edition provides an exceptionally accessible introduction to the challenging task of learning psycholinguistic research, theory, and application. Offering a research-based approach-supported by the new "Researchers at Work" feature which shows the process of conducting an experiment-Language in Mind emphasizes not just what psycholinguists know, but how they've come to know it.

To deepen the student's exposure to research and scientific thinking, which is an important skill in follow-up courses, the text also includes a critical examination of primary literature and the debates in the field (supported by the in-text "Digging Deeper" feature; and online with Web Activities and "Language at Large" modules).To complete the study of psycholinguistics, the text establishes connections between theory and everyday phenomena (supported by Boxes and "Questions to Contemplate" features). A robust 4-color illustration program distinguishes this book from others, and further explains and illustrates challenging material.

朱莉·塞迪维教授的学术研究与教学能力十分突出。她对面向非学术性读者的科学及文学写作十分感兴趣。1997年，她在罗切斯特大学获得博士学位，在校期间参与了利用眼动方法研究口语理解的开创性研究。1997年至2009年，她在布朗大学认知与语言科学系担任学术职务，在那里继续进行跨学科研究项目，并连续获得高度的教学评价。她先后担任过《语言学与哲学》的副主编，以及《实验心理学杂志: 学习、记忆和认知》的咨询编辑，累计发表论文三十余篇。她目前是卡尔加里大学的兼职教授，并将继续致力于科学研究、教学及写作。

Julie Sedivy combines a strong background in academic research and teaching with a keen interest in scientific and literary writing for non-academic audiences. She received her Ph.D. in 1997 from the University of Rochester, where she was involved in pioneering research in the use of eye movement methods for studying spoken language comprehension. She held an academic appointment in the Cognitive & Linguistic Sciences at Brown University from 1997 to 2009, where she continued her interdisciplinary research program, and garnered consistently outstanding teaching reviews. She has published more than thirty articles and chapters and has served as Associate Editor for Linguistics and Philosophy, and as Consulting Editor for the Journal ofExperimental Psychology: Learning, Memory and Cognition. She currently holds an adjunct appointment at the University of Calgary and divides her time between research/teaching and writing.
