Contents:
I-IV -- Contents -- Mediating between concepts and language - Processing structures -- Mediating between non-linguistic and linguistic structures -- Coordination of eye gaze and speech in sentence production -- Time patterns in visual reception and written phrase production -- Animacy effects in language production: From mental model to formulator -- Word order scrambling as a consequence of incremental sentence production -- The linearization of argument DPs and its semantic reflection -- Semantics as a gateway to language -- Mediating between event conceptualization and verbalization -- Temporal relations between event concepts -- Segmenting event sequences for speaking -- Events: Processing and neurological properties -- Aspectual (re-)interpretation: Structural representation and processing -- Type coercion from a natural language generation point of view -- The mediating function of the lexicon -- The thematic interpretation of plural nominalizations -- Competing principles in the lexicon -- Concepts of motion and their linguistic encoding -- Too abstract for agents? The syntax and semantics of agentivity in abstracts of English research articles -- Index of names -- Index of subjects
Summary: Researchers with backgrounds in theoretical linguistics, computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, and psychology have contributed to the interdisciplinary discussion of the interface between conceptual representations and linguistic structures. This book fills a critical gap in cognitive science. The study implements the objective of determining the impact that adjoining non-linguistic cognitive systems have on linguistic encoding, the mapping between representations, and the requirements of language processing. In this setting event conceptualization and verbalization is treated as one central phenomenon from the different interdisciplinary viewpoints. Theoretical analyses are confronted with psycholinguistic findings about the processing of event representations. Further empirical issues like the influence of visual perception on speech become apparent since we are primarily concerned with the overall architecture of the language processing system as an integral part of the cognitive endowment. Here, the lexicon is recognized as a mediator between linguistic and non-linguistic, semantic and syntactic components. The volume constitutes a major contribution to knowledge in the field and will be of value to an interdisciplinary audience.
