MEANING AND CONTEXT - HANS HÖRMANN KARTONIERT (TB)

At the time of his death Hans Hormann  then Professor of Psy chology at the Ruhr University 
Bochum  West Germany  was pre paring an English language version of his Eirifilhrung in die
Psycholinguistik. The goal of this book  in both the German and English editions  was to
present in compact and readily accessi ble form the essentials of his approach to the
psychology of lan guage. Basing his work upon the materials treated at length and in depth in
two previous comprehensive and more technical works  Psycholinguistics: An Introduction to
Research and Theo ry and To Mean-To Understand  Hormann had made a selection of themes and
problems suitable for beginners and for those who wanted a convenient introduction to the
specific framework with in which Hormann thought psycholinguistics was to be pursued. The
result is a remarkably clear  succinct  and provocative account of central issues and options
of the psychology of lan guage  that broad and not strictly delimited part of psychology that
takes as its domain the multiform conditions  processes  and structures involved in the
acqUisition  development  production  and grasp of linguistic meaning. Hormann's approach is
admit tedly contentious and goes directly against a great deal of Anglo American
psycholinguistics. In particular  it radically devalues the relevance of certain types of
theoretical linguistics  prin Cipally  though not exclusively  Chomskyan  for the psychology of
vii viii PREFACE language.
