Review
"
Speech, Language and Communication provides an excellent presentation of the major issues in the study of human communication. This edited volume provides a set of concise and well-written reviews by some of the most respected scholars in their respective fields. This volume could not only serve as an excellent text for an upper level course on the psychology of language but also as an excellent desk reference text."
