How is language defined, and how is it shaped by the social, perceptual, and cognitive constraints of the user? What role does biology play in shaping language structure? In Language and Its Normal Processing, author Vivien C. Tartter answers these questions by presenting a timely, comprehensive, intellectually and empirically rich presentation of the psychology of language from diverse perspectives. She systematically steps undergraduates through the basic controversies in the field and presents broad, thorough, and up-to-date coverage for graduate students and professionals in order to expand their outlooks and backgrounds in psycholinguistics. This new volume explores sociolinguistics, bilingualism, secondary language processes, and second language reading and writing. It also strongly emphasizes the role of social processes in constructing meaning, in language and literacy acquisition, and in language change. It comprehensively covers typical language processing in normal individuals with thorough updates of relevant literature on the structure, processing, and acquisition of semantic, syntactic, and phonetic systems in language. A fascinating exploration, Language and Its Normal Processing is a valuable contribution to professionals and academics in psychology, cognition, and linguistics.

The life of a student athlete competing in the NCAA is a lifestyle that is glorified by many, but only truly known by few. On the surface, the life of a student athlete may look easy, but underneath the exterior many tough and demanding experiences are endured. Although some will get the opportunity to play professionally in their respective sports, the reality is that 98% of student athletes who graduate from these prestigious institutions will transition out of sports -- making a very difficult transition at times -- and become a professional in a totally different field. Groundwork 29: Books, Ball and Beyond is a riveting, real-life account of a dynamic and multi talented student athlete from the Bronx, NY pursuing excellence in every facet of the student athlete life: school and academics, training and sports, and the most unacknowledged aspect, the transition out of sports into the professional world.About the authorJudith Brittany Wallace is a former student athlete from Rutgers University.
