"Apart from providing a detailed account of some of the latest findings in the field, this book represents a useful manual for young scholars and even the general public who want to open their perspectives on psycholinguistics. It not only provides a general overview of the field, but it discusses potential open research questions and it provides a detailed literature review on each of the models, methodologies, samples of participants and languages that have already been studied."
