Reviews

"""This book would be especially useful for graduate students in psycholinguistics as a starting point for discussion about what goes into designing an experiment in which talk is the data. As a basis for a seminar on psycholinguistic methodology, it has the advantage not only of stimulating thought about how talk is elicited but also provides a broad-based review of the kinds of questions and theoretical issues in the field today. Moreover, the editors have done a credible job of setting a friendly and accessible tone to the chapters."" —Contemporary Psychology"
