To read Stephen 's autobiography is to be taken on a wonderful, mind-blowing journey of discovery in the world of the English language. Stephen says it himself, "where other people use a few well chosen words to get across their point, I use far too many". At first you are overwhelmed by the plethora of words he uses, but that's the Stephen we all love and admire, so go with the flow and enjoy his remembrances, anecdotes, and observation. As you continue your exploration of Stephen's memories, you will find yourself crying and laughing with him during the journey.
A Thousand Words for Stranger opens with a Prelude, in which two Enforcers are following a Clansman and Clanswoman -- the Enforcers are the police of the Trade Pact between various planets, but the Clan (a group of humanoids with powerful mental abilities) aren't part of that Pact. Then the Clanspeople are attacked, and the woman wanders off on her own. In Chapter 1, we find out that this woman is Sira, who is mindblocked and has no memories, only strange compulsions which govern her behaviour.

Psycholinguistics
This handbook focuses on theoretical challenges associated with process-orientated psycholinguistics. Speech acts are embedded in situations that may vary in a multitude of parameters. Speech production and comprehension necessarily have to be both robust and flexible. Flexibility includes that speakers vary in speed, articulation, choice of words and interaction style, depending on specific context conditions.
Titles in this series have been specially written to provide students with extra guidance in areas of language which they find particularly difficult.
HELP WITH WORDS compares and contrasts words which are similar or confusing in meaning or form, such as borrow and lend, say and tell, live and life. It is intended for intermediate-level students and is ideal for self-study or classroom use.
