This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the nature of
attentional and visual processes involved in language
comprehension. Key concerns include how linguistic and
non-linguistic processes jointly determine language comprehension
and production and how the linguistic system interfaces with
perceptual systems and attention.

Language scientists have traditionally considered language in
isolation from other cognitive and perceptual systems such as
attention, vision and memory. In recent years, however, it has
become increasingly clear that language comprehension must be
studied within interaction contexts. The study of multimodal
interactions and attentional processes during language processing
has thus become an important theoretical focus that guides many
research programs in psycholinguistics and related fields.
