Disfluencies and human language comprehension

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2004
Spoken language contains disfluencies, which include editing terms such as uh and um as well as repeats and corrections. In less than ten years the question of how disfluencies are handled by the human sentence comprehension system has gone from virtually ignored to a topic of major interest in computational linguistics and psycholinguistics.

Grammatical comprehension in language and communication disorders

Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2023
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) have traditionally been considered separate disorders, although some similarities and overlaps in certain aspects of language have been detected. In this paper, we compare the deficits in receptive grammar in these two disorders.

The Neurobiology of Language Comprehension

1998
The process of language comprehension consists of a number of distinct subprocesses which operate on different knowledge sources. The process from the input to the mental representation of the meaning that has been conveyed may be described as follows: as a first step peripheral input systems will have to process the auditory or visual language input ...

language comprehension in schizophrenics and their brothers

Biological Psychiatry, 1992
Disturbances in language functioning may be associated with familial vulnerability to schizophrenia. Language comprehension, measured by the Luria-Nebraska Relational Concepts Factor Scale, was evaluated in 36 schizophrenic probands and their nonschizophrenic adult brothers (n = 41), and in 18 normal controls.

Lie detection and language comprehension

Nature, 2000
People who can't understand words are better at picking up lies about emotions. People are usually no better than chance at detecting lies from a liar's demeanour1,2, even when clues to deceit are evident from facial expression and tone of voice3. We suspected that people who are unable to understand words (aphasics) may be better at spotting liars, so

Time in language: Event duration in language comprehension

Cognitive Psychology, 2011
This work investigates how we process and represent event duration in on-line language comprehension. Specifically, it examines how events of different duration are processed and what type of knowledge underlies their representations. Studies 1-4 examined verbs and phrases in different contexts.

Linguistic meaning and language comprehension

Information Processing & Management, 1983
Abstract Recent developments in cognitive science are assessed as a challenge to the well established view in philosophy of language and linguistics that meaning is inherent to language and is relatively fixed. It is concluded that the challenge is unsuccessful.

Language as skill: Intertwining comprehension and production

Journal of Memory and Language, 2016
Abstract Are comprehension and production a single, integrated skill, or are they separate processes drawing on a shared abstract knowledge of language? We argue that a fundamental constraint on memory, the Now-or-Never bottleneck, implies that language processing is incremental and that language learning occurs on-line.
