by Gün R. Semin (Editor)

This volume covers key readings that have inspired and advanced a social psychological understanding of the intricate relationships between language, thinking, and communication. These readings also trace the way in which our understanding of this relationship has changed over time and provide an insight into the complex but fascinating interplay between language, cognition and communication. Understanding the diverse facets of this interface and how it has evolved is of crucial importance, since language and communication enter not only every aspect of our mundane daily lives, but also our research, theorizing, and scientific communication.
