History of Psycholinguistics - Levelt, Willem (Director Emeritus, Director Emeritus, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, The Netherlands)

How do we manage to speak and understand language? How do children acquire these skills and how does the brain support them? This book provides a fascinating personal history of the men and women whose intelligence, brilliant insights, fads, fallacies, cooperations, and rivalries created the discipline we call psycholinguistics.
