'Psychology of Language' examines both the formal/structural aspects of linguistics and psycholinguistics and the concerns of sociolinguistics, conversation analysis, and social semiotics. Author Michael A. Forrester discusses three levels of communication: thinking - the cognitive processes of self-communication; talk - with an emphasis on everyday conversational behaviour; text - including the study of reading and writing. Within these areas, Forrester introduces a wide range of subjects, from language structure, semantics, and deixis to conversation, power relations in language, interpretation, and postmodern psychology
