Morton Ann Gernsbacher
"A model of how monographs should be written, the book summarizes
the author's research of the past decade in a clear, gender-fair,
and jargon-free manner....With a fast-paced, friendly style and the
use of the structure-building analogy referred to in the title,
Gernsbacher's text proves that experimental psychology need not be
boring to be informative....makes a substantive contribution to the
psychology of language....The effort is well worth reading."
—American Journal of Psychology"Gernsbacher's thesis...is well
argued and well supported by the data provided, and most
undergraduate readers, especially those with some background in
cognitive psychology, will find the going quite easy...With books
on this topic appearing frequently, any new books need to offer
something special to deserve attention. This one...comes very close
to meeting that standard."
