Abstract
The book - The Psycholinguistics of English Language in Nigeria - is one of such efforts at meeting the needs of students taking courses in psycholinguistics, second language learning and English language teaching in Nigeria. Apart from providing the general theoretical background to the relationship between language and the human mind in terms of general principles of learning as well as learning a language, the book identifies and elaborates on the psycholinguistic bases of performance and usage of the English language in Nigeria, focusing on the factors that influence the Nigerian learners and the problems they encounter in the process of learning the language.
