This book serves as a single, unifying reference source for those interested in speech motor effects evident in the acoustic record, reaction times, speech communication strategies, and perceptual judgments. Written by a linguist and a psychologist, the book provides an analytic orientation toward speech and alcohol with an emphasis on laboratory-based research in acoustic-phonetics and speech science. It is a comprehensive review of the effects of alcohol on speech and compares the various theoretical concerns which form this research.
Brain, Mind and the Signifying Body is an exploration of a multimodal theory of cognitive science. Using linguistic theories first developed by Saussure and more latterly by M. A. K. Halliday, Paul Thibault analyses how social and biological systems interact to produce meaning. This fascinating study will be of interest to undergraduates and academics researching cognitive linguistics and advanced semiotics. The book engages with the current dialogue between the human and life sciences to ask questions about the relationship between the physical, biological aspects of a human being, and the sociocultural framework in which a human being exists.
"Fictional Minds suggests that readers understand novels primarily by
following the functioning of the minds of characters in the novel
storyworlds. Despite the importance of this aspect of the reading
process, traditional narrative theory does not include a complete and
coherent theory of fictional minds. Readers create a continuing
consciousness out of scattered references to a particular character and
read this consciousness as an "embedded narrative" within the whole
narrative of the novel. The combination of these embedded narratives
forms the plot.
