Reviews for South and Southeast Asian Psycholinguistics
'The 'anglocentrism' of traditional psycholinguistics has undermined a full understanding of both the universal and language-specific aspects of language processing. This book provides a desperately needed remedy, an invaluable resource on language processing in some of the richest and most diverse languages spoken by millions of people.' Johannes Ziegler, CNRS and Aix-Marseille University
