Based on the most recent research findings in cognitive and neurological linguistics, this book offers a comprehensive and accessible study of cognition in relation to mind-body communication. Looking closely at how we use language to talk, write, build and maintain relationships, Ritchie's book explores how we interact with another person's external signalling to create meaning and influence action. The real-life examples that illustrate different approaches will help readers connect the ideas to their own unique communication experiences and styles. Covering a range of material, including conversation structure, language evolution and media technology, each chapter concludes with a summary, allowing readers to consider how ideas covered may be useful in everyday communication. This research would be of interest to non-academic readers and intermediate-level students intrigued by the intersections of linguistics, philosophy and psychology and taking courses on psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics and the philosophy of language.
