Semantic Processing Paperback

Wendy Best

Research in semantics is conducted in a wide variety of disciplines, and this text seeks to bring together those areas. Contributions are from an international group of applied researchers. There are chapters on: models of semantic processing, connectionist modelling, sentence processing in children and adults, semantic processing in the normal elderly, semantic category disorders, semantic therapy in aphasia, semantic processing in Alzheimer's disease, semantic dementia and conceptual semantics. The book is aimed primarily at the undergraduate reader or readers with limited knowledge of semantic processing. Students of linguistics, psychology, and speech and language sciences should also find it useful.
