What happens in the mind and brain when we have mastered two or more languages? All these aspects of language use are discussed at the level of words and sentences as well as text and discourse. Language is considered as an embodied embedded incremental cognitive activity aiming at the construction and communication of rich and dynamic mental models. Discussion boxes highlight controversies in the field; case studies and practical exercises provide insight into everyday examples; illustrations represent important models of language processing; and key findings come along with clear and concise chapter summaries. Special attention is paid to research techniques for investigating the psychology of language.

New Ways of Seeing The Democratic Language of Photography

New Ways of Seeing The Democratic Language of Photography

Those born since the digital revolution seem to have the hardest time re-imagining the role of photography in the world today. Thinking of photography as a visual language is the approach this book adopts to addresses this challenge. Considering photography in this way develops the metaphor of 'learning a language' when attempting to explain what photography can be and what it can give a student in transferable creative and life skills. This begins with challenging the pre-conception that successful photography is defined by the successful single image or 'the good photograph'. The book emphasises the central role of narrative and visual storytelling through a technique of 'photosketching' to develop the building blocks of visual creativity and ultimately to craft successful bodies of photographic work. New Ways of Seeing explains how to both learn and teach photography as a visual language appropriate for both professionals and students working today. | New Ways of Seeing The Democratic Language of Photography
