作者的主要目标在早期阶段就明确了：“这本书的总体目标是建立一个心理词汇的‘模型’”（第34页），为了实现这一目标，她探索了大脑如何获取、储存、使用、识别和一般操纵词汇的问题。因此，工作的范围是广泛的，但由于其介绍功能，它没有检查任何一个特定方面的心理词典编纂在任何大的深度牺牲任何其他。这本书在这方面结构良好，平衡。没有事先的心理语言学实践或问题的详细知识是假设和作者的风格是远不是教学恐吓。事实上，情况完全相反，这是这本书最初最引人注目的方面之一：文学参考和绘画被发现在丰富的启发和促进困难概念的讨论。然而，当想要避免过多的技术内容和说教风格时，总是存在变得过于冗长的危险。虽然这是一个令人钦佩的考虑对于读者很少有经验的给定领域的研究，任何有更多的知识可能会发现文本只是有点太迂回的地方。经常使用文学典故作为例证可能会让一些人反感，但也会受到其他人的欢迎。作者可能确实是在给读者一个微妙的提醒，提醒读者不要忽视语言的实际使用方式，而不是仅仅依靠虚构的例子。不幸的是，不可能成为所有人的一切，但这将是一个
The author's main objective is made clear at an early stage: "The overall aim of this book is to build a 'model' of the mental lexicon" (p. 34), and in order to accomplish this goal, she explores the issues of how the brain acquires, stores, uses, recognises and generally manipulates words. Thus the scope of the work is broad, but due to its introductory function it does not examine any one particular aspect of psycho-lexicography in any great depth at the expense of any other. The book is well-structured and balanced in this respect. No prior detailed knowledge of psycholinguistic practices or issues is assumed and the author's style is far from being pedagogically intimidating. In fact the complete opposite is the case and it is this which is initially one of the most striking aspects of the book: literary references and drawings are to be found in abundance illuminating and facilitating the discussion of difficult concepts. However, there is always a danger of becoming just a little too verbose when wanting to avoid overly technical content and didactic style. While this is an admirable consideration for readers with very little experience of a given field of study, anyone with more knowledge may find the text just a little too circuitous in places. The constant use of literary references for exemplification may be off-putting to some but welcomed by others. The author may indeed be giving the reader a subtle reminder of the importance of not losing sight of how language is actually used rather than solely relying on invented examples. Unfortunately it is impossible to be all things to all persons but it would be a
