How language production shapes language form and comprehension
Language production processes can provide insight into how language comprehension works and language typology-why languages tend to have certain characteristics more often than others. Drawing on work in memory retrieval, motor planning, and serial order in action planning, the Production-Distribution-Comprehension (PDC) account links work in the fields of language production, typology, and com...
متن کاملOverview: does language production shape language form and comprehension?
Analyzing how predictability, especially statistically-based predictability, affects language comprehension has become a major theme in psycholinguistics (e.g., Jurafsky, 1996; Hale, 2001; Lau et al., 2006; Staub and Clifton, 2006; Levy, 2008). This interest can be traced back to a series of papers (notably MacDonald et al., 1994) challenging the received claim that frequency is largely irrelev...
متن کاملHow do people construct logical form during language comprehension?
How do people interpret ambiguous sentences containing more than one quantifier, such as Every kid climbed a tree? We report four sentence-picture matching experiments that used priming to investigate whether comprehenders construct logical-form representations during processing. Experiment 1 investigated priming in active-voice sentences containing transitive verbs and found priming effects of...
متن کاملLanguage as skill: Intertwining comprehension and production
Are comprehension and production a single, integrated skill, or are they separate processes drawing on a shared abstract knowledge of language? We argue that a fundamental constraint on memory, the Now-or-Never bottleneck, implies that language processing is incremental and that language learning occurs on-line. These properties are difficult to reconcile with the ‘abstract knowledge’ viewpoint...
متن کاملLanguage Comprehension and Production in Normal Aging
Since Cohen introduced the term ‘‘gerolinguistics’’ in 1979, there has been accelerating interest in understanding the nature of language in old age. Searching PsychINFO using the key words ‘‘language and aging’’ generated 9 citations for the decade from 1970 to 1979, 80 for 1980 to 1989, 270 for 1990 to 1999, and 171 for the 5-year period from 2000 to 2004. This surge in interest in language a...
