Review

"Clear and accessible ... It is an enjoyable read at a very good price ... it would be perfect for individuals just starting a speech and language therapy course or for those looking to brush up on some of the fundamental theories and approaches to speech and language." – Catherine Cole in Speech and Language Therapy in Practice

"In the new book Talking the Talk: Language, Psychology, and Science by Trevor Harley, one finds both a lively and amusing introduction to the field. He strikes the ideal tone for a gentle introduction to the topic, with witty asides and self-deprecating humor." - Shelia Kennison and Rachel Messer in PsycCRITIQUES

"A road trip through the varied landscape of psycholinguistics—including photos! Harley’s approachable style and frequent personal asides make the esoteric aspects of the field understandable, and he shows how everyday phenomena, such as "slips of the tongue" or children’s babblings, provide deep insight into how language works. Despite containing some fun topics, the book does not dumb down the science; it includes the latest findings from neuroscience and computational modeling and can function as quick reference for the expert as well as a thorough introduction for anyone who has marveled at our ability to speak." - Gary Dell, Professor of Psychology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA

"This is the kind of book that one needs not simply for ideas on which aspects of psycholinguistics to teach, formally or informally, but also for ideas on how to present those different aspects in an engaging and informative way. Psycholinguistics has become an increasingly broad science, and Trevor Harley is the perfect guide." - Professor Gerry T.M. Altmann, Department of Psychology, University of York, UK

"Harley uses his expert knowledge of the topic and personal anecdotes to help draw the reader into complex scientific and philosophical debates. He enables the reader to develop a good understanding of　this complex ability we use every day, in a style that is both clear and engaging." - Nick Lund, Department of Interdiscilinary Studies, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
