Meeting Description:

(Symposium at World Congress of Applied Linguistics)

Several lines of linguistic research have investigated chunks, i.e., recurrent
multi-word sequences like 'I don’t know' which are likely to be mentally
represented as single units (for review, see Blumenthal-Dramé 2017). These
approaches have mainly drawn on corpus data, which inherently reflect the
results of past production processes (but see Sinclair & Mauranen 2006),
effectively thus promoting an offline view on chunks. Conversely,
psycholinguistic research has mainly focused on chunking (or segmentation) in
incremental language comprehension, thereby adopting an online perspective on
the phenomenon.

However, many questions around the chunking process in online language
comprehension are still under debate. The following questions serve as
subthemes for the two parts of our symposium:

1. Synoptic and dynamic. What is the relationship between the ‘production
chunks’ identified in corpus research and the ‘comprehension chunks’
highlighted by psycholinguistic experiments? How much variation is there in
terms of size and mode?

2. Constraints and variability. How do variables like working memory or the
typological make-up of a language modulate online chunking (Stine-Morrow &
Payne, 2016; McCauley & Christiansen, 2019). Do different languages chunk
alike?

The symposium explores these questions from cognitive, psycholinguistic and
applied linguistic perspectives towards an integrated understanding of
chunking.
