WARREN, P., Introducing Psycholinguistics: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2012. 286p. Hardback. Series: Cambridge Introductions to Language and Linguistics. How humans produce and understand language is clearly introduced in this textbook for students with only a basic knowledge of linguistics. With a logical, flexible structure Introducing Psycholinguistics steps through the central topics of production and comprehension of language and the interaction between them. Students will gain an understanding of the processes and representations involved in language use, aided by a comprehensive glossary, concepts defined in the margins and online flashcards that allow students to check their understanding of all the key terms and concepts of the subject. Examples and exercises throughout each topic reinforce understanding and encourage students to consider what language users might carry around in their heads as part of their linguistic knowledge, and how this stored knowledge relates to the structures and rules proposed by theoretical linguistics. Students will gain hands-on experience of experimental methods, with online demonstrations of techniques. This supports the theory within the book, reinforces a student's grasp of the concepts and allows the student to apply their understanding to the analysis of data.

WARRIOR, V. M., Roman Religion: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2007. 184p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Introduction to Roman Civilization. Examining sites that are familiar to many modern tourists, Valerie Warrior avoids imposing a modern perspective on the topic by using the testimony of the ancient Romans to describe traditional Roman religion. The ancient testimony recreates the social and historical contexts in which Roman religion was practised. It shows, for example, how, when confronted with a foreign cult, official traditional religion accepted the new cult with suitable modifications. Basic difficulties, however, arose with regard to the monotheism of the Jews and Christianity. Carefully integrated with the text are visual representations of divination, prayer, and sacrifice as depicted on monuments, coins, and inscriptions from public buildings and homes throughout the Roman world. Also included are epitaphs and humble votive offerings that illustrate the piety of individuals, and that reveal the prevalence of magic and the occult in the spiritual lives of the ancient Romans.

WARRY, J.G., Greek Aesthetic Theory. A Study of Callistic and Aesthetic Concepts in the Works of Plato and Aristotle. Methuen, London, 1962. 168p. Cloth. 'Warry’s purpose is an ambitious one. It is to build up a systematic theory of aesthetics from the relevant material in Plato and Aristotle which will be saner and better balanced than modern theories, and more easily intelligible to the modern student and critic. (…). On the whole I enjoyed reading it, but I am sceptical about the claim that it systematizes the views of Plato and Aristotle and that it offers a solution to many of the problems which still occupy the minds of critics and aestheticians today.'
