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'll
find details of my collaborators here at York, including
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.
My 'official'
webpage can be found on the York departmental
webpages.
Specifically
Psycholinguistics
This is a
Psychology of Language Page of Links. It's quite
comprehensive. I'm ashamed to say that I "borrowed" one of my
background textures from that page.
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 the
Lexicon of
Linguistics and
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.
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).
My
own most-used links
I also visit the
BBC
news page, the travelex
currency converter (based on the tourist rates), the
on-line
British Rail timetable,
Virtual Florist
(they do real flowers too), and for travelling,
Expedia (whose customer
service is excellent - I've linked to the uk site, but simply
replace the '.co.uk' with '.com'). And of course,
Amazon are fantastic for
books. As a Mac enthusiast, I recommend
versiontracker for
software updates, and
MacOSXHints for hints on how to use OS X. And if
anything goes wrong with your Mac, seach
MacFixit first.
