Morphology, Memory and the Mental Lexicon

2010
Recent experimental evidence on morphological learning and processing has prompted a less deterministic and modular view of the interaction between stored word knowledge and on-line processing. Storing a word in the mental lexicon does not simply entail keeping a faithful memory image of that word in the most compact way.

Aspectual Constraints in the Mental Lexicon

Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2001
This study addresses the question of whether constraints on aspectual semantics play a role in lexical processing. Two universal cognitive constraints are identified: "states cannot be delimited" and "telic predicates cannot be further telicized." The study investigates how these are obeyed in the productive process of perfective preverb and stem ...

Components of the mental lexicon

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1981
This paper sets out to identify, in information-processing terms, the elementary functional components of the mental lexicon and their interrelations. In particular it is concerned with the independent status of lexical codes for written and spoken language, and their relations to each other and to a language-free cognitive representation.

Mental Files and the Lexicon

Review of Philosophy and Psychology, 2015
This paper presents the hypothesis that the representational repertoire underpinning our ability to process the lexical items of a natural language (that is, the mental lexicon) can be modeled as a system of mental files. To start, I clarify the basic phenomena that an account of lexical knowledge should be able to elucidate.

Polysemy in the Mental Lexicon

2008
The semantic ambiguity of lexical forms is pervasive: Many, if not most, words have multiple meanings. For example, one can draw a gun, draw water from a well, or draw a diagram. Despite the frequency of this phenomenon, how human beings store and access these meanings is an open question.

(Mental) grammar and the (mental) lexicon

2016
Although classic generative approaches build on the differentiation between the lexicon and the grammar, there are many theories (Cognitive Grammar, Langacker 1987 ; Emergent Grammar, Hopper 1987 ; Construction Grammar, Goldberg 1995, 2006 ; Parallel Architecture, Jackendoff 2002), particular insights (Schönefeld 2001 ; Haspelmath 2007, 2014), as well ...
