The Handbook of Infant Development, Basic Research (Volume 1)
Now presented in two volumes, the second edition of The Handbook of Infant Development reflects the breadth of new topics and vast empirical knowledge relating to infancy research that has emerged in recent years. Updated and fully revised, the handbook provides coverage of all the major areas of interest in infant development relating to both psychological research and applications and policy.
In our everyday life, communicative processes are relevant in almost all situations. It is important to know whether you should say something which is adequate in the situation or whether it is better to say nothing at all.
Cognition and Pragmatics (Handbook of Pragmatics Highlights)
The ten volumes of Handbook of Pragmatics Highlights focus on the most salient topics in the field of pragmatics, thus dividing its wide interdisciplinary spectrum in a transparent and manageable way. While other volumes select philosophical, grammatical, social, variational, interactional, or discursive angles, this third volume focuses on the interface between language and cognition. Language use is impossible without the mobilization of a large variety of cognitive processes, each serving a different purpose.
The information presented in the Handbook of Brain Microcircuits was previously dispersed across the literature. In fact, some microcircuits were previously brought together for selected regions in The Synaptic Organization of the Brain edited by Gordon Shepherd (2003) and Microcircuits edited by Sten Grillner and Ann Graybiel (2006). This handbook greatly extends that coverage to over 40 regions of the vertebrate and invertebrate nervous system becoming the go-to source for key circuits within the neurosciences.
The Handbook of Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing provides a comprehensive overview of the concepts, methodologies, and applications being undertaken today in computational linguistics and natural language processing.
The volume begins with an introduction to the major theoretical issues in these fields, as well as the central engineering applications that the work has produced. Also included is a detailed synopsis of the most cutting-edge research.
