A critical look at the embodied cognition hypothesis and a new proposal for grounding conceptual content
Planning at the Phonological Level during Sentence Production
The Languages of the Brain
The cognate facilitation effect: Implications for models of lexical access.
Lexical Selection in Bilinguals: Do Words in the Bilingual's Two Lexicons Compete for Selection?
How Many Levels of Processing Are There in Lexical Access?
The patterns of semantic errors in speaking and writing are used to constrain claims about the structure of lexical access mechanisms in speech and written language production. It is argued that it is not necessary to postulate a modality-neutral level of lexical representation (lemma) that is intermediate between lexical-semantic representations and modality-specific lexical representations. A dual-stage access model is proposed in which the fir…
The organization of lexical knowledge in the brain: Evidence from category- and modality-specific deficits
How is lexical knowledge organized in the brain? Are semantic distinctions among, for example, animals, vegetables, furniture, and musical instruments or grammatical distinctions among nouns, verbs, and adjectives reflected in the organization of lexical knowledge in the brain? In this chapter we argue that evidence from the analysis of the performance of brain-damaged subjects provides the basis for far-reaching speculations, not only about the …
Lexical access and inflectional morphology
The roles of topicalization, parallel function and verb semantics in the interpretation of pronouns
The development of vague modifiers in the language of pre-school children
Pre-school children's comprehension of the adverbial modifiers very and sort of , when combined with two pairs of polar dimensional adjectives ( big/little and tall/short ) was experimentally investigated in 64 children (three, four and five years of age). The task involved the choice of an item from a graduated array of nine objects in response to questions combining the modifiers and adjectives. Results suggested that comprehension of very begi…
Semantic and syntactic processes in aphasia: A review of the literature
Recent investigations of lexical and syntactic aspects of language comprehension in aphasia are reviewed. It is argued that these studies support theoretical assumptions concerning the functional independence of various components of normal language processing. Studies of the structure of the lexicon in aphasia provide support for componential theories of lexical semantics in that different types of features of meaning can be selectively disrupte…
Semantic and syntactic processes in aphasia: A review of the literature
A study of voicing in Lebanese Arabic
Dissociation of algorithmic and heuristic processes in language comprehension: Evidence from aphasia
Effects of age and ability on syllogistic reasoning in early adolescence
To assess the influence of age and ability on linear syllogistic reasoning in early adolescence, 11- and 13-year-old subjects of two levels of ability (bright and average) were presented with 64 three-term series problems (e.g., "If John is better than Bill, and Bill is better than Tom, then who is the best?"). Results showed that the effect of ability was quite dramatic even with verbal grade equivalent and Standard Progres-sive Matrices scores …
Voice onset time in two French dialects
The acquisition of a new phonological contrast: The case of stop consonants in French-English bilinguals
Cross-language studies have shown that Voice Onset Time (VOT) is a sufficient cue to separate initial stop consonants into phonemic categories. The present study used VOT as a linguistic cue in examining the perception and production of stop consonants in three groups of subjects: unilingual Canadian French, unilingual Canadian English, and bilingual French-English speakers. Perception was studied by having subjects label synthetically produced s…
