Architectures and Mechanisms for Language Processing (Hardcover)

Hardcover. The architectures and mechanisms underlying language processing form one important part of the general structure of cognition. This book, written by leading experts in the field, brings together linguistic, psychological, and computational perspectives on some of the fundamental issues. Several general introductory chapters offer overviews on important psycholinguistic research frameworks and highlight both shared assumptions and controversial issues. Subsequent chapters explore syntactic and lexical mechanisms, the interaction of syntax and semantics in language understanding, and the implications for cognitive architecture. This book brings together linguistic, psychological, and computational perspectives on cognitive mechanisms in sentence processing. This item is printed on demand.
