Verbal Behavior (book)

Verbal Behavior (1957), written by psychologist B.F. Skinner, develops a functional analysis of human behavior encompassing natural language. For Skinner, this is a behavior subject to the same controlling contingencies as any other behavior. The book Verbal Behavior is almost entirely theoretical, involving no experimental research in the work itself. However, research in verbal behavior has occurred since its original publication and continues.
