Lexical Representation and Process

Abstract

How do humans understand and produce language? "Lexical Representation and Process" is the first collection to cover the full range of lexical representations and their role in language processing. The 18 contributions focus on psychological models of lexical processing, the nature of the input, lexical structure and process, and parsing and interpretation. "Lexical Representation and Process "provides a coherent and well documented frame of reference for a field of study that is becoming a central to both linguistics and psycholinguistics. It includes a wide variety of approaches from the radical alternative of new connectionist models, through new developments in traditional symbolic approaches, to the reemphasis on linguistic concepts as a crucial input to psycholinguistic models.
