Product description

The ability to communicate quickly and flexibly through both spoken and written language is one of the defining characteristics of the human race. Yet it remains a mysterious process. The science of psycholinguistics attempts to uncover the mechanisms and representations underlying human language. This interdisciplinary field has seen massive developments over the last decades, with a broad expansion of the research base, and the incorporation of new experimentaltechniques such as brain imaging and computational modelling. The result is that real progress is being made in the understanding of the key components of language in the mind.This new and expanded edition of The Oxford Handbook of Psycholinguistics brings together the views of over 80 experts in various domains of psycholinguistic research, offering a comprehensive and authoritative review of the field. With contributions from the fields of psychology, linguistics, cognitive neuroscience, attention, genetics, development, and neuropsychology divided into five themed sections, this new edition of The Oxford Handbook of Psycholinguistics isunparalleled in its breadth of coverage.The comprehensive nature of this book coupled with the accessibility of the short chapter format makes this handbook essential reading for students and researchers in the fields of psychology, linguistics and neuroscience.

Ob Brexit, Trump oder Querdenker - Im öffentlichen Leben beobachten wir allenthalben einen politischen Diskurs, der sich von der Unterscheidung von Wahrheit und Lüge gewissermaßen verabschiedet zu haben scheint - meint die renommierte Literaturwissenschaftlerin Nicola Gess. In ihrem Essay analysiert sie die Narrative von Fake-News am Beispiel von Ken Jebsen, Claas Relotius und Uwe Tellkamp.

Oft gehe es nicht mehr darum, ob Fakten wahr bzw beweisbar sind, die Initiatoren wollen vielmehr eine schlüssige Fiktion formulieren, die für die Zielgruppe "emotional glaubwürdig" ist. Es gehe nur noch um die Inszenierung dieses Narrativs. Sie plädiert bei der Beschäftigung mit den neuen populistischen Strömungen weniger für Faktenchecks, sondern für Fiktions-Checks, da große Teile der Zielgruppe sich von logischen Diskussionen bereits verabschiedet haben.
Erschienen in der wunderbaren Reihe "Die fröhliche Wissenschaft", in der es noch viele weitere erhellende Essays zu entdecken gilt.
Renowned science fiction writer M. John Harrison looks back on his impressive career and reflects on his life as well as his stance on literature and writing - what might sound like a fairly straightforward and possibly lacklustre endeavour ends up being the complete opposite. As Harrison is skeptical about the memoir itself (he calls his an "anti-memoir"), reading "Wish I was here" feels like finding a bunch of blurry snapshots in an old box, all out of order or context. The passages in which he lays out political ideas or describes his writing process cut through this dreamlike scenario like a knife; not only because of how precisely they are phrased, but also because of how interesting, unusual and sometimes provocative they are (in a good way). I can safely say I've never read a memoir - or a creative writing guidebook - that comes close to this one!
Jane Austen is a writer ruined by TV adaptation (before you all start writing letters, I know there are good ones). Despite two centuries of inclusion in the canon, there are still many (and I am afraid they are mostly men) who dismiss her as 'frivolous', 'saccharine' or 'unserious'. This means it is only worth continuing to discuss Austen with people if they either don't use any of the aforementioned adjectives or if, by the latter, they mean, she is one of the funniest writers in English (full stop). If you don't know this already, the first page of 'Persuasion' will convince you, and then her biting, satirical commentary on Georgian society will show you that far from reverently writing about it out of admiration, she irreverently lambasts it and its eccentric snobbish hierarchy (people who write her off will probably say John Oliver likes Trump because both wear suits). If you don't believe me (and even if you do), read her (and start with 'Persuasion') before you watch her.
