Abstract:

Word storage and processing define a multi-factorial domain of scientific
inquiry whose thorough investigation goes well beyond the boundaries of
traditional disciplinary taxonomies, to require synergic integration of a wide
range of methods, techniques and empirical and experimental findings. The
present book intends to approach a few central issues concerning the
organization, structure and functioning of the Mental Lexicon, by asking
domain experts to look at common, central topics from complementary
standpoints, and discuss the advantages of developing converging perspectives.
The book will explore the connections between computational and algorithmic
models of the mental lexicon, word frequency distributions and information
theoretical measures of word families, statistical correlations across
psycho-linguistic and cognitive evidence, principles of machine learning and
integrative brain models of word storage and processing. Main goal of the book
will be to map out the landscape of future research in this area, to foster
the development of interdisciplinary curricula and help single-domain
specialists understand and address issues and questions as they are raised in
other disciplines.
