This handbook reviews the current state of the art in the field of psycholinguistics. Part I deals with language comprehension at the sublexical, lexical, and sentence and discourse levels. It explores concepts of speech representation and the search for universal speech segmentation mechanisms against a background of linguistic diversity and compares first language with second language segmentation. It also discusses visual word recognition, lexico-semantics, the different forms of lexical ambiguity, sentence comprehension, text comprehension, and language in deaf populations. Part II focuses on language production, with chapters covering topics such as word production and related processes based on evidence from aphasia, the major debates surrounding grammatical encoding. Part III considers various aspects of interaction and communication, including the role of gesture in language processing, approaches to the study of perspective-taking, and the interrelationships between language comprehension, emotion, and sociality. Part IV is concerned with language development and evolution, focusing on topics ranging from the development of prosodic phonology, the neurobiology of artificial grammar learning, and developmental dyslexia. The book concludes with Part V, which looks at methodological advances in psycholinguistic research, such as the use of intracranial electrophysiology in the area of language processing.

Top-Down Nearly-Context-Sensitive Parsing (2010, background): “In contrast human syntactic parsing must be fully connected (or close to it) as people are able to apply vast amounts of real-world knowledge to the process as it proceeds from word-toword(van Gompel and Pickering, 2007).”
Essentials of a Theory of Language Cognition (2019, background): “Psycholinguistics is now a highly developed field (e.g., Gaskell, 2007).”
Syntactic alignment and shared word order in code-switched sentence production: Evidence from bilingual monologue and dialogue (2010, background): “In this respect, the study of code-switching can be informative to what Ferreira and Slevc (2007) called a ‘‘perennial debate” in sentence production theories on the way the syntactic level of processing interacts with other levels processing, such as the lexical level.”
