Abstract:

>From its beginnings, the study of the mental lexicon has been at the
crossroads of research and scholarship. This volume presents a polylogue--a
textual conversation of many voices. It is designed to capture the excitement
within the field and generate a deeper understanding of key issues and debates
for established researchers, students, and readers interested in language and
cognition. The first chapter examines how the mental lexicon itself can be
seen as a polylogue. In the following six chapters, authors tackle the
fundamental questions concerning future research on lexical representation and
processing in an interactive structure that presents new perspectives and
captures the excitement of the field. The themes include the value of
cross-linguistic megastudies, the nature of meaning, how to capture truly
natural language, what can be learned from lexical acquisition, the advantages
of a functionalist perspective, and the role of schemas in understanding
morphology and the lexicon.
