Book Description
Written as a tribute to Lila Gleitman, an influential pioneer in first language acquisition and reading studies, this significant book clearly establishes the relationships between psychology and linguistics. It begins with a thorough examination of issues in developmental psychology, continues with questions on perception and cognition, studies the realm of psycholinguistics, and concludes with an exploration of theoretical linguistics.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“The quality and diversity of this Festschrift pay tribute to Lila Gleitman’s influence on Swarthmore scholarship.”
―Language
“The distinguished group of authors of this volume, almost all Swarthmore graduates, would make any university proud of its undergraduate program….I found Rosenbaum’s chapter on motor control (which is a topic I know little about and would normally try to avoid) to be well written and intriguing. I found myself wanting to know more.”
