A few
psycholinguistic sites around the web.
If you're looking for something relatively specific,
though, you can't beat Google.
@
York
The
Psycholinguistic Research Group
@ York is where you've come from (in case you've google'd
straight into this page. You'll find details of
postgraduates (for US speakers, 'postgraduate' = 'graduate
student'), postdoctoral researchers, and faculty.
There's also a large group interested in disorders of
language development, with interests in dyslexia, language
in children with autism spectrum disorder, and other cases
of disordered language development. The group is called
the
Centre for Reading and
Language,
and is one of the leading groups working on dyslexia.
Aside from their first-class research, they are also
extremely good at assessing children and making
appropriate recommendations on how to proceed if your
child has a language problem.
Specifically
Psycholinguistics
This
is a
Psychology of Language Page of
Links.
It's quite comprehensive.
Language
and Linguistics - glossaries
Xrefer.com
is a very useful site for looking up dictionary-style
definitions of linguistic (or any other) terms. There
are various 'glossary pages' elsewhere on the web that are
more specifically linguistics or psycholinguistics
oriented, including
SIL International;
and these two more computationally-oriented glossaries
provided by
Parsifal Software
and
Bill Wilson.
Dictionaries
There
are several on-line dictionaries that all do pretty much
the same sort of thing. So if you don't have access
to the
Oxford English Dictionary
on-line, try the following:
your dictionary;
allwords.com;
dict.org;
or
Merriam-Webster.
You might want to look at
wordnet
also, although it's not really a dictionary as
such.
There are various versions of
Roget's Thesaurus
'out there', and this
rhyming dictionary
isn't bad either.
If you'd like to receive 'a
word a day' in your email, then you could try
wordsmith.org.
They also have a useful
anagram
solver (to the extent that such a thing can be
useful...)
If you are interested in
etymology,
eleaston.com
has some excellent links to online etymology sites (as well
as to word-a-day sites and various others).
Grammars
This
is a really useful
site
with links to pages that describe/teach the grammars of
(some of) the world's languages, but you have to wade
through a ton of advertising and other stuff before you get
to the meat of the page. But it's worth
it.
Psycholinguistic
Journals
These
links to
psycholinguistic journals
are fairly good, but there are several journals that
contain articles with psycholinguistic content but which
are not language-specific and which do not, therefore,
appear here (such as Journal of Experimental Psychology, to
pick one example). GA is about to become the
Editor-in-Chief of
Cognition,
and that also is missing from the list (the fact that
JEP and Cognition are missing is just a reflection of
how the search terms are applied.
Latin
Lipsum.com will
generate any amount of "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, etc.
etc". GA uses it for writing grant proposals. Could
explain why he gets funding...
Onions
You
can't beat The Onion for
current affairs, or even affairs of a
different kind...
