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

open access: yesTop 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]

open access: yesTop 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]

open access: yesTop 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 ...

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

open access: yesCogn 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.

Memetics and the Parallel Architecture. [PDF]

open access: yesTop 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 ...

The Parallel Architecture in Language and Elsewhere. [PDF]

open access: yesTop 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 ...

Fictionalism of Anticipation [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

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

open access: yesIEEE 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 ...

How Grammar Introduces Asymmetry Into Cognitive Structures: Compositional Semantics, Metaphors, and Schematological Hybrids

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
This paper presents a preliminary and tentative formulation of a novel empirical generalization governing the relationship between grammar and cognition across a variety of independent domains.
