Moving away from lexicalism in psycho- and neuro-linguistics

Alexandra Bunting Krauska, Ellen Lau · 13 Feb 2023

In standard models of language production or comprehension, the elements which are retrieved from memory and combined into a syntactic structure are “lemmas” or “lexical items.” Such models implicitly take a “lexicalist” approach, which assumes that lexical items store meaning, syntax, and form together, that syntactic and lexical processes are distinct, and that syntactic structure…

A reconceptualization of sentence production in post-stroke agrammatic aphasia: the Synergistic Processing Bottleneck model

Yasmeen Faroqi‐Shah · 15 Sep 2023

The language production deficit in post-stroke agrammatic aphasia (PSA-G) tends to result from lesions to the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) and is characterized by a triad of symptoms: fragmented sentences, errors in functional morphology, and a dearth of verbs. Despite decades of research, the mechanisms underlying production patterns in PSA-G have been difficult to…

Motivating a fine-grained syntax of Arabic prepositional phrases

Abdelkader Fassi Fehri, Maather Alrawi · 12 Jun 2024

The paper provides a novel motivation in favor of a complex and fine-grained syntax of spatial PPs in Arabic. It neatly fills a gap between the complex semantics of spatial expressions and their morphosyntax, which remains unexplained using wide spread cognitive approaches. We propose a fine-grained architecture of root nodes, categories, and features in the…

Planning sentence production in aphasia: evidence from structural priming and eye-tracking

Willem S. van Boxtel, Briana Cox, Austin D. Keen et al. · 22 Jun 2023

Background: Grammatical encoding is impaired in many persons with aphasia (PWA), resulting in deficits in sentence production accuracies and underlying planning processes. However, relatively little is known on how these grammatical encoding deficits can be mediated in PWA. This study aimed to facilitate off-line (accuracy) and real-time (eye fixations) encoding of passive sentences through implicit…

Heritage language use in the country of residence matters for language maintenance, but short visits to the homeland can boost heritage language outcomes

Vicky Chondrogianni, Evangelia Daskalaki · 25 Sep 2023

This study examined how heritage children's experiences with the heritage language (HL) in the country of residence (e.g., children's generation, their HL use and richness) and the country of origin (e.g., visits to and from the homeland) may change as a function of the migration generation heritage children belong to, and how this may in…
