Currently, production and comprehension are regarded as quite distinct in accounts of
language processing. In rejecting this dichotomy, we instead assert that producing and …

Humans differ in innumerable ways, with considerable variation observable at every level of
description, from the molecular to the social. Traditionally, linguistic and psycholinguistic …

Whether we grow up with one, two, or several languages during our early years of life, many
of us will learn a second, foreign, or heritage language in later years. The field of Second …

Memory is fleeting. New material rapidly obliterates previous material. How, then, can the
brain deal successfully with the continual deluge of linguistic input? We argue that, to deal …

Language has a fundamentally social function. Processes of human interaction along with
domain‐general cognitive processes shape the structure and knowledge of language …

There is mounting evidence that language users are sensitive to distributional information at
many grain-sizes. Much of this research has focused on the distributional properties of …

A work that reveals the profound links between the evolution, acquisition, and processing of
language, and proposes a new integrative framework for the language sciences. Language …

When we read or listen to language, we are faced with the challenge of inferring intended
messages from noisy input. This challenge is exacerbated by considerable variability …

A key component of research on human sentence processing is to characterize the
processing difficulty associated with the comprehension of words in context. Models that …

In this book John A. Hawkins argues that major patterns of variation across languages are
structured by general principles of efficiency in language use and communication. Evidence …
