Abstract:

This volume brings together the latest research from leading scholars on the
mental lexicon - the representation of language in the mind/brain at the level
of individual words and meaningful sub-word units. In recent years, the study
of words as mental objects has grown rapidly across several fields, including
linguistics, psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, education, and cognitive
science. This comprehensive collection spans multiple disciplines, topics,
theories, and methods to highlight important advances in the study of the
mental lexicon, identify areas of debate, and inspire innovation in the field
from present and future generations of scholars.

The book is divided into three parts. Part I presents modern linguistic and
cognitive theories of how the mind/brain represents words at the phonological,
morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic levels. This part also
discusses broad architectural issues pertaining to the internal organization
of the lexicon, the relation between words and concepts, and the role of
compositionality. Part II examines how children learn the form and meaning of
words in their native language, bridging learner- and environment-driven
contributions and taking into account variability across both individual
learners and communities. Chapters in the final part explore how the mental
lexicon contributes to language use during listening, speaking, and
conversation, and includes perspectives from bilingualism, sign languages, and
disorders of lexical access and production.
