Parallel Architecture: From Problems and Mysteries to Solutions and Explanations. [PDF]

Top Cogn Sci
Abstract We argue that Jackendoff's Parallel Architecture (PA) is the right way to think about the architecture of the language faculty. The critical property of this architecture is that it allows for genuine explanation by allocating different aspects of linguistic phenomena to appropriate corresponding representations and capacities.

Language Production and Prediction in a Parallel Activation Model. [PDF]

Top Cogn Sci
Abstract Standard models of lexical production assume that speakers access representations of meaning, grammar, and different aspects of sound in a roughly sequential manner (whether or not they admit cascading or interactivity). In contrast, we review evidence for a parallel activation model in which these representations are accessed in parallel ...

The Enhanced Literate Mind Hypothesis. [PDF]

Top Cogn Sci
Abstract In the present paper, we describe the Enhanced Literate Mind (ELM) hypothesis. As individuals learn to read and write, they are, from then on, exposed to extensive written‐language input and become literate. We propose that acquisition and proficient processing of written language (“literacy”) leads to, both, increased language knowledge as ...

Memetics and the Parallel Architecture. [PDF]

Top Cogn Sci
Abstract The evolution of human communication and culture is among the most significant—and challenging—questions we face in attempting to understand the evolution of our species. This article takes up two frameworks for theorizing about human communication and culture, namely, Jackendoff's Parallel Architecture of the human language faculty, and the ...

A Computational Framework to Study Hierarchical Processing in Visual Narratives. [PDF]

Cogn Sci
Abstract Theories of visual narrative comprehension have advocated for a hierarchical grammar‐based comprehension mechanism, but only limited work has investigated this hierarchy. Here, we provide a computational framework inspired by computational psycholinguistics to address hierarchy in visual narratives.

The Parallel Architecture in Language and Elsewhere. [PDF]

Top Cogn Sci
Abstract The Parallel Architecture is a conception of the organization of the mental representations involved in language and of the role of language in the mind as a whole. Its basic premise is that linguistic representations draw on three independent generative systems—phonological, syntactic, and semantic structures—plus a system of interface links ...

A parallel search algorithm for formal grammar data types

Sistemnì Doslìdženâ ta Informacìjnì Tehnologìï, 2018
In this paper, we developed a concurrent generic heuristic algorithm for parallel parsing and searching in structured text datasets. The main objective of the algorithm was to increase an efficiency of central processing unit dependent operations when ...

Resolving conflicts with violable constraints: On the cross-modular parallelism of repairs

Glossa, 2019
When grammatical constraints impose conflicting requirements on a linguistic expression, this conflict is often resolved by employing a repair operation.

Automatic Inference of Task Parallelism in Task-Graph-Based Actor Models

IEEE Access, 2018
Automatic inference of task level parallelism is fundamental for ensuring many kinds of safety and liveness properties of parallel applications. For example, two tasks running in parallel may be involved in data races when they have conflicting memory ...

Fictionalism of Anticipation [PDF]

, 2021
A promising recent approach for understanding complex phenomena is recognition of anticipatory behavior of living organisms and social organizations. The anticipatory, predictive action permits learning, novelty seeking, rich experiential existence.
