A mental lexicon without semantics

Neurology, 2012
An unresolved issue in language and aphasia research relates to the question whether the brain has an autonomous mental lexicon, which is separated from word semantics. So-called symbolic models assume the existence of such a lexical level1 whereas connectionist accounts claim that language sounds and meanings are connected through an associative ...

Metaphors and the Mental Lexicon

Brain and Language, 1999
In two experiments we investigate the possibility that lexicalization can account for the distinction between literal and metaphorical language. In both experiments, sentence contexts were presented with the final word missing. When subjects signaled they understood the context, two possible final words were presented and subjects were required to ...

The Mental Lexicon, 2014
Visual word recognition is a capital stage in reading. It involves accessing a mental representation of a written word, including processes such as perception, letter coding and selection of the proper candidate in our mental lexicon. One key issue for researchers on this field is to shed light on the role of phonological and orthographic processes in ...

Broca’s aphasia, verbs and the mental lexicon

Brain and Language, 2004
Verb production is notoriously difficult for individuals with Broca's aphasia, both at the word and at the sentence level. An intriguing question is at which level in the speech production these problems arise. The aim of the present study is to identify the functional locus of the impairment that results in verb production deficits in Broca's aphasia.

The bilingual mental lexicon

2017
Several theoretical accounts have been developed to describe the nature of the bilingual mental lexicon. In the last decades, functional magnetic resonance studies have provided some insight into the neural basis of lexical processing in healthy bilinguals and in bilinguals with aphasia.

Deranging the Mental Lexicon

Inquiry, 2015
AbstractThis paper offers a defense of Davidson’s conclusion in ‘A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs’, focusing on the psychology and epistemology of language. Drawing on empirical studies in language acquisition and sociolinguistics, I problematize the traditional idealizing assumption that a person’s mental lexicon consists of two distinct parts—a ...

Ten chapters focus on the nature of such psycholinguistic inquiry and its history, the structural origins of the ...
