A 2-layer symbolic network model based on the equilibrium equations of the Rescorla-Wagner model (Danks, 2003) is proposed. The study first presents 2 experiments in Serbian, which reveal for sentential reading the inflectional paradigmatic effects previously observed by Milin, Filipovic Đurđevic, and Moscoso del Prado Martin (2009) for unprimed lexical decision. The empirical results are successfully modeled without having to assume separate representations for inflections or data structures such as inflectional paradigms. In the next step, the same naive discriminative learning approach is pitted against a wide range of effects documented in the morphological processing literature. Frequency effects for complex words as well as for phrases (Arnon & Snider, 2010) emerge in the model without the presence of whole-word or whole-phrase representations. Family size effects (Moscoso del Prado Martin, Bertram, Haikio, Schreuder, & Baayen, 2004; Schreuder & Baayen, 1997) emerge in the simulations across simple words, derived words, and compounds, without derived words or compounds being represented as such. It is shown that for pseudo-derived words no special morpho-orthographic segmentation mechanism, as posited by Rastle, Davis, and New (2004), is required. The model also replicates the finding of Plag and Baayen (2009) that, on average, words with more productive affixes elicit longer response latencies; at the same time, it predicts that productive affixes afford faster response latencies for new words. English phrasal paradigmatic effects modulating isolated word reading are reported and modeled, showing that the paradigmatic effects characterizing Serbian case inflection have crosslinguistic scope.

An amorphous model for morphological processing in visual comprehension based on naive discriminative learning.

Creative cognition is one inherent aspect of human cognition. From the perspective of cognition target, creative cognition aims at new problems and issues. From the angle of the subject, only those who are endowed with creative capability, i.e. creative subjects, could undertake creative activities. Creative cognition is a unique cognitive activity in terms of which human beings explore the unknown fields, with the property of creativity, thus differing from the normal, routine ways of thinking.

Handbook of Word-Formation

Pavol Stekauer presents an original approach to the intricate problems of English word-formation The emphasis is on the process of coining new naming units (words) This is described by an onomasiological model, which takes as its point of departure the naming needs of a speech community, and proceeds through conceptual reflection of extra-linguistic reality and semantic analysis to the form of a new naming unit As a result, it is the form which implements options given by semantics by means of the so-called Form-to-Meaning Assignment Principle Word-formation is conceived of as an independent component, interrelated with the lexical component by supplying it with new naming units, and by making use of the word-formation bases of naming units stored in the Lexicon The relation to the Syntactic component is only mediated through the Lexical component In addition, the book presents a new approach to productivity It is maintained that word-formation processes are as productive as syntactic processes This radically new approach provides simple answers to a number of traditional problems of word-formation
