Using the visual world paradigm to study language processing: a review and critical evaluation.

TLDR
The paradigm provides information about the way language users integrate linguistic information with information derived from the visual environment and is well suited to study one of the key issues of current cognitive psychology, namely the interplay between linguistic and visual information processing.

An integrated theory of language production and comprehension

TL;DR: It is asserted that producing and understanding are interwoven, and that this interweaving is what enables people to predict themselves and each other.

Four central questions about prediction in language processing

TL;DR: It is proposed that prediction occurs via a set of diverse PACS mechanisms which are minimally required for a comprehensive account of predictive language processing and must be revised to take multiple mechanisms, mediating factors, and situational context into account.

Grammatical gender in adult L2 acquisition: Relations between lexical and syntactic variability

TL;DR: This article investigated lexical and syntactic aspects of gender processing in real-time adult second-language (L2) acquisition and identified the causes of inflectional variability in L2 acquisition.

On Staying Grounded and Avoiding Quixotic Dead Ends

TL;DR: This account proposes that (1) a key element of grounding is neural reuse, (2) abstraction takes the forms of multimodal compression, distilled abstraction, and distributed linguistic representation (but not amodal symbols), and (3) flexible context-dependent representations are a hallmark of conceptual processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is prediction necessary to understand language? Probably not.

TL;DR: It is argued that most experimental evidence for predictive language processing comes from “prediction-encouraging” experimental set-ups and that claims that all language processing is predictive in nature are premature.

Aspects of the Theory of Syntax

Noam Chomsky
TL;DR: Generative grammars as theories of linguistic competence as discussed by the authors have been used as a theory of performance for language learning. But they have not yet been applied to the problem of language modeling.
