In this volume, which simultaneously honors the career contributions of Jean Berko Gleason and provides an overview of a broad and increasingly important research area, a panel of highly productive language researchers share and evaluate methods of eliciting and analyzing language production across the life span and in varying populations. Chapters address a wide variety of historical and evolving approaches to data collection for the study of morphosyntax, the lexicon, and pragmatics, both laboratory-based and naturalistic. Special concerns that arise in the study of atypical child development, aging, and second language acquisition are a focus of the discussion.
"This book would be especially useful for graduate students in psycholinguistics as a starting point for discussion about what goes into designing an experiment in which talk is the data. As a basis for a seminar on psycholinguistic methodology, it has the advantage not only of stimulating thought about how talk is elicited but also provides a broad-based review of the kinds of questions and theoretical issues in the field today. Moreover, the editors have done a credible job of setting a friendly and accessible tone to the chapters."
