Very complex topic illustrated in a simple to understand way,
By Artybecca (Pittsburgh, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Words in the Mind: An Introduction to the Mental Lexicon (Paperback)
We've all had the "the word is on the tip of the tongue but I just can't think of it" experience. This book explains the search for understanding of what exactly is going on in your brain as it learns, stores, and selects words from the huge dictionary in your head. The author takes you through the research in a methodical way, raising and then "testing" various theories, explaining them all in very easy to understand language. As you read it, you'll recognize many of your own slips of the tongue and gain a new understanding of how and why they happen.

Review,
By Seán O'Neill (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Words in the Mind: An Introduction to the Mental Lexicon (Paperback)
An amazing book which reveals many truths about the mind. Witty in its demeanour the book is deeper than most philosophies. Help wanted, inquire within.
