Description: This book reviews and analyzes what is known about metacognitive processes in relation to language. Each of its seven chapters deals systematically with the relationship between the comprehension and production of the phonetic, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and textual aspects of language. This material is then related to the metacognitive principles which govern reflective awareness. A concluding chapter deals with written language and metalinguistics. --From publisher's description.
