This review of literature in linguistics and the psychology of language focuses on studies produced from 1961 through 1963. Such topics as language development, generative grammar, semantics, and the role of linguistics in the teaching of reading are covered, and much attention is given to the areas of verbal learning and the psychology of grammar. The article notes that most of the contributions in these fields during this 3-year period have been devoted to reviewing, testing, and refining theories of the previous decade, and the need for additional research is emphasized, particularly in terms of a comprehensive theory of speech and language behavior and the need for study of the audiovisual aspects of verbal learning. A bibliography of 41 items is included. (DS)
