"Meaning and Context" by Hans Hörmann is a significant non-fiction book that deals with psycholinguistics. Originally written in German, it was created with the aim of presenting the essential aspects of the psychology of language in a compact and easily accessible form. Hörmann, who was a professor of psychology at Ruhr University Bochum during his lifetime, selected topics and issues that are suitable for both beginners and those interested in an introduction to the specific conditions of psycholinguistics. The book offers a clear and concise presentation of central questions and options within the psychology of language, a broad and not strictly defined subfield of psychology that deals with the conditions, processes, and structures involved in the acquisition, development, production, and understanding of linguistic meaning. Hörmann's approach is provocative and challenges many common views in Anglo-American psycholinguistics, particularly the relevance of certain theoretical linguistics.
