Error detection is not necessary for representation
Mind &Language, EarlyView.Some philosophers have recently proposed an error detection condition (EDC) for representation, such that for R$$ R $$ to be a representation for system S$$ S $$, S$$ S $$ must be capable of detecting errors in tokenings of R$$ R $$. We argue that this condition is unmotivated, and that it is too strong. We show that theories of representation that are

How generics obscure the logic of conditionals
Mind &Language, EarlyView.This paper discusses counter‐examples to modus ponens and modus tollens involving modals and quantificational adverbs, and presents new counter‐examples with generic conditionals. We argue that the counter‐examples are spurious, and are explained by the domain‐restricting effects of if‐clauses.

Embedding mental files in the world
Mind &Language, EarlyView.Cognitive scientific explanations can take either a mechanistic or design perspective. Some recent philosophical works propose to apply the mechanistic perspective to the influential mental file framework. The design perspective, however, remains underexplored.

I claim that white dreaming is a metacognitive feeling, akin to tip‐of‐the‐tongue and déjà experiences.

Deep dialogism, inner voices, and mental health
Mind &Language, EarlyView.The idea that cognition involves dialogic interchange between mutually influencing “voices” has long featured in psychology and philosophy. While dialogic structure is most explicit in inner speech, some authors have argued that other types of mental activity can be (or always are) dialogic. We introduce two dimensions of dialogism, strength and depth,

(Re)Defining language pedagogy activity: A sociomaterialist perspective
The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Language pedagogy activity (LPA) is central to the functioning of language classrooms worldwide, and this article (re)defines LPA. While prevailing applied linguistics conceptualizations of “activity” are often theoretical and anthropocentric, our definition of LPA is empirically supported and foregrounds material agency.

Using Psychometric Network Analysis to Examine the Components of Spoken Word Recognition
Journal of CognitionUsing language requires access to domain-specific linguistic representations, but also draws on domain-general cognitive skills. A key issue in current psycholinguistics is to situate linguistic processing in the network of human cognitive abilities ...
