The P-chain: relating sentence production and its disorders to comprehension and acquisition.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article introduces the P-chain, an emerging framework for theory in psycholinguistics that unifies research on comprehension, production and acquisition. The framework proposes that language processing involves incremental prediction, which is carried out by the production system. Prediction necessarily leads to prediction error, which drives learning, including both adaptive adjustment to the mature language processing system as well as language acquisition. To illustrate the P-chain, we review the Dual-path model of sentence production, a connectionist model that explains structural priming in production and a number of facts about language acquisition. The potential of this and related models for explaining acquired and developmental disorders of sentence production is discussed.

Task-Induced Involvement in L2 Vocabulary Learning: A Case for Listening Comprehension
The study aimed at investigating whether the retention of vocabulary acquired incidentally is dependent upon the amount of task-induced involvement. Immediate and delayed retention of twenty unfamiliar words was examined in three learning tasks( listening comprehension + group discussion, listening comprehension + dictionary checking + summary writing in L1, and listening comprehension + dictio...
متن کاملThe Role of Emotioncy in Cognitive Load and Sentence Comprehension of Language Learners
Emotion and cognition are both considered influential factors in language learning. In this study, the role of "emotioncy" (which is a combination of emotion and frequency) in the cognitive load and sentence comprehension of a group of language learners was examined. Emotioncy includes emotions that are evoked by the senses. To this aim, 200 English as a foreign language (EFL) learners were ask...
متن کاملThe effect of canonical word order on the production and comprehension of pseudoclefts in L2
This study investigated the effect of word order and age on the production and comprehension of pseudoclefts in L2 across two experiments. For each experiment 16 female students aged between 179 and 210 months were recruited from a secondary school. These students were divided into two groups based on their age range; one group for investigating the effect of word order and age on the productio...
متن کاملAsymmetries in Language Use Reveal Asymmetries in the Grammar
According to the classical view, the nature of the grammar is independent of its use. A puzzle for this view is the observation that in language acquisition production sometimes precedes comprehension. Children who use subject-object status to determine word order in production not necessarily use word order to determine subject-object status in comprehension. On the basis of results from first...
متن کاملIntegrating Discourse in a Computational Model of the Production and Comprehension of Referring Expressions
In this paper we propose a cognitive model that simulates the acquisition of object pronouns. The model will be implemented to generate precise and testable predictions about the comprehension and production of object pronouns. During sentence processing, the model incrementally builds a structural representation of the sentence, and the model incrementally constructs a discourse representation...
