The generative transformational approach to the study of language, under the leadership of Noam Chomsky, has already made significant contributions to cognitive psychology. In this volume, the authors examine the fundamental distinction linguists have made between competence (the speaker-listener's knowledge of his language) and performance (the actual speech and comprehension). Phrase and Paraphrase provides new insights into creativity as it relates to language structure. By analyzing the speaker's ability to invent and recognize constructional phrases, the authors show that various aspects of linguistic performance heretofore considered by many linguists "irrelevant performance deficits" are actually consequences of intrinsic linguistic organization.

In an era marked by specialisation and fragmentation, Gleitman's "Psychology" has always recognised that drawing connections to other disciplines, particularly the liberal arts and sciences, as well as to the field's historical dimensions, helps show students how and why psychology is relevant to the world around them. The seventh edition of "Psychology" continues this project, introducing a unified approach built around a new part structure, thought provoking questions and contemporary themes, providing students with the most coherent picture of the field.
