Basic Mechanisms in Cognition and Language with Special Reference to Phonological Problems in Dyslexia
Hardbound. An international constellation of leading scientists in the fields of linguistics, language development, cognitive sciences, neuropsychology and psychology have contributed to this excellent work. Their contributions elucidate a variety of important aspects of crucial mechanisms in cognition and language processing. Important issues highlighted include the early development of these mechanisms as well as the effects of weaknesses in these mechanisms in terms of language learning deficits in developmental dyslexia.Based on lectures given at a multidisciplinary conference, the volume is written in a universal style to accommodate scientists outwith their own fields.The book will be invaluable to a broad spectrum of professionals dealing directly or indirectly with the remediation of individuals afflicted with learning difficulties.
Studies in Applied Linguistics and Language Learning
Studies in Applied Linguistics and Language Learning brings together new and original studies in the area of critical applied linguistics, language policy and planning, and language learning and teaching.

Multimedia Content and the Semantic Web
The emerging idea of the semantic web is based on the maximum automation of the complete knowledge lifecycle processes: knowledge representation, acquisition, adaptation, reasoning, sharing and use. Text-based based browsers involve a costly information-retrieval process: descriptions are inherently subjective and usage is often confined to the specific application domain for which the descriptions were created. Automatic extracted audiovisual features are, in general, more objective, domain-independent and can be native to the audiovisual content. This book seeks to draw together in one concise volume the findings of leading researchers from around the globe. The focus, in particular, is on...
Language in the Context of Use
This volume explores key convergences between cognitive and discourse approaches to language and language learning, both first and second. The emphasis is on the role of language as it is used in everyday interaction and as it reflects everyday cognition. The papers represent a set of dynamic, thought-provoking analyses that add considerably to our understanding of language and language learning.
