Looking back: Joke comprehension and the space structuring model
We describe the space structuring model, a model of language comprehension inspired by ideas in cognitive linguistics, focusing on its capacity to explain the sorts of inferences needed to understand one-line jokes. One process posited in the model is frame-shifting, the semantic and pragmatic reanalysis in which elements of the existing message-level representation are mapped into a new frame retrieved from long-term memory. To test this model, …
Probabilistic word pre-activation during language comprehension inferred from electrical brain activity
From Brain to Mind: Event-Related Potential Evidence for Sentence Comprehension Processes
An explicit goal of cognitive neuroscience is to bridge the gap between brain and mind. However, arguments in the philosophy of psychology for a level of cognitive theory independent of the neuronal implementation raise questions about the relevance of the details of nervous system activity to theories of cognitive processing. After sketching these concerns, an interdisciplinary approach to cognitive theories of language is outlined, and some rec…
