Gives an explanatory account of language which is related to psychological models of the human mind. This volume explains these phenomena by investigating architecture of language and memory, representation of concepts and their linguistic structures in mental lexicon and their neural basis, and, role of memory in language comprehension.
This edition gives an explanatory account of language which is intrinsically related to psychological models of the human mind. The commitment to language as a cognitive system enables the explanation of many linguistic phenomena, such as the acquisition, storage, and retrieval of linguistic information, as a memory effect. The authors of this volume explain these phenomena by investigating the architecture of language and memory, the representation of concepts and their linguistic structures in the mental lexicon as well as their neural basis, and, finally, the role of memory in language comprehension.
Contents: Cornelia Zelinsky-Wibbelt: Introduction - David Tuggy: On the storage vs. computation of complex linguistic structures - Cornelia Zelinsky-Wibbelt: Resolving the dichotomy between storage and computation: The analysability of compound meanings - Viorica Marian/Margarita Kaushanskaya: Language-dependent memory: Insights from bilingualism - Renate Bartsch: Concept formation, memory, and understanding - Michael Fortescue: Eternal objects, figuræ, and memory - Francisco Morales/John R. Taylor: Learning and relative frequency - Barbra Novak/Sydney Lamb: Nouns and verbs in the mental lexicon - Ralf Rummer/Johannes Engelkamp: Towards a language-based account on verbal working memory - Alan Garnham/H. Wind Cowles: Mental models and noun-phrase anaphora - Monika Schwarz-Friesel: Text comprehension: Resolving direct and indirect anaphora - Arne Zeschel/Alex Deppert: Lexical predictability in comprehension.
Cornelia Zelinsky-Wibbelt specializes in the research area of lexical semantics. Working in the research paradigm of cognitive linguistics, her semantic analyses are closely tied up with morphological and syntactic patterns. Being interdisciplinary, the author's work draws on philosophical theory and is buttressed empirically by psycholinguistic and computational-linguistic evidence. Numerous publications have emerged from these projects.
