Abstract:

Lexical effects on language processing are currently a major focus of
attention in studies of sentence comprehension. This thematic
collection provides a uniquely multi-faceted and integrated viewpoint
on key aspects of lexicalist theories, drawing from the fields of
theoretical linguistics, computational linguistics, and
psycholinguistics. The focus of this stimulating volume is on a number
of central topics: The discussion of foundational issues concerning
the nature of the lexicon and its relationship to sentence
understanding; the exploration of the relationship between syntactic
and lexical processing; and the investigation of the specific content
of lexical entries, especially for verbs. The authors draw on a range
of methodologies, from computational modeling to corpus studies to
behavioral and neuro-imaging experimental techniques. The breadth of
topics and methodologies is brought together by the articulated,
critical analysis of the field provided in the introduction. The
research reported here elaborates both the structure and the
probabilistic content of lexical representations, and meets up with
work in computer science, linguistics, psychology, and philosophy on
the relation between conceptual, grammatical, and statistical
knowledge.
