Language of Communication
Book •
George A. Miller's Language and Communication collects his early work exploring how humans perceive, process, and understand spoken language.
Drawing on experimental psychology and information-processing ideas from his wartime experience with speech perception under noisy conditions, Miller examines factors that shape comprehensibility and meaning in communication.
The book integrates theory and empirical findings to argue that cognitive processes and context critically influence language understanding.
Miller's perspective helped establish psycholinguistics as a field by connecting experimental methods to linguistic questions.
The work influenced subsequent research on memory, perception, and the psychology of language.
