MacWhinney, B.; Bates, E. – Journal of Child Language, 1993
Thirteen papers in this book illustrate MacWhinney and Bates's Competition Model (CM), with a focus on cross-linguistic processing. Studies in this volume show that (1) the CM is useful in predicting certain gross cross-linguistic differences of comprehension, particularly in relation to actor assignment and (2) children's processing strategies…

Hodgson, James M. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1991
Provides evidence that automatic lexical priming is a product of an informationally specific lexical level network. An alternative account appealing to retrospective but automatic semantic integration processes is discussed.(52 references) (JL)

Perfetti, Charles A.; Tan, Li-Hai – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1998
Considers specific aspects of phonological and orthographic processing in Chinese that may differ from those in English. Emphasizes that early phonological processes and phonological mediation are two different questions in the identification-with-phonology hypothesis. Shows that "mediation" and "prelexical phonology," two very…

Weekes, B. S.; Chen, M. J.; Lin, Y-B. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1998
Finds phonological priming effects on compound targets (characters containing separate radical components); no evidence of phonological priming on integrated targets (those not containing separate radicals); semantic priming effects on both compound and integrated target recognition, suggesting that phonological and semantic activation are…

Liu, In-Mao – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1998
Investigates how a person comprehends a subject-verb-object sentence. Obtains effects of both reference scope and location of superordinates. Supports a slot-filling model of sentence comprehension (which should apply to English as well as Chinese sentences) in which subjects successively create a slot for filling the previously integrated unit in…

Tamaoka, Katsuo; Hatsuzuka, Makiko – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1998
Finds that, because kanji morphemes of opposite and similar concepts are semantically activated both as morpheme units and compound-word units, semantic representations of the two morphemes and the compound word which they create compete with each other at the concept level, which slows down lexical decision and naming of the compound word.

Jakubowicz, Celia; Nash, Lea; Rigaut, Catherine; Gerard, Christophe-Loic – Language Acquisition, 1998
Presents the results of an investigation on elicited production and comprehension of determiners and clitic pronouns by 13 French-speaking children with specific language impairment and a group of children without language impairment. Findings show that the children with SLI studied here do not present a general impairment on functional categories…

Noordman, Leo G. M.; Vonk, Wietske – Discourse Processes, 1998
Focuses on the role of cognitive structures in the reader's knowledge. Argues that causality is an important category in structuring human knowledge and that this property has consequences for text processing. Discusses research illustrating that the more the information in the text reflects causal categories, the more easily the information is…

Jepson, Lisa; Bucci, Wilma – Adolescence, 1999
Study compares the object relations and language functions of 15 physically abused and 15 non-abused adolescents. Results reveal no significant differences between groups on overall measures. The findings do not support the view that physically abused adolescents experience developmental lags, instead suggesting that they organize and use…

Forster, Kenneth I.; Azuma, Tamiko – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2000
Masked priming effects for prefixed words sharing a bound stem (e.g., submit-permit) are compared with priming effects for semantically transparent prefixed words (e.g., fold-unfold). In three experiments, priming effects were obtained for both types with no significant difference between them. Results suggests semantic transparency is not…

Landauer, Thomas K. – Discourse Processes, 1999
Contributes to communication theory and research by adding to a discussion of a computational model called latent semantic analysis (LSA). Argues that LSA does not handle all aspects of language processing, but offers a biologically and psychologically plausible mechanistic explanation of the acquisition, induction, and representation of verbal…

Hultquist, Alan M. – Annals of Dyslexia, 1997
A study investigated the orthographic processing abilities of 15 adolescents with reading disabilities (RD), 15 typical readers, and 15 younger typical readers matched in reading age. Readers with RD had greater difficulty than the other readers on orthographic processing tasks and had specific difficulty in processing consonant blends when…

Gierut, Judith A. – Journal of Child Language, 1998
Investigated children's abilities to conceptualize distinctive phonological features in development, studying relationships between productive and conceptual knowledge and the influence on phonological change. Young children with phonological disorders were evaluated, given treatment for producing accurate fricatives, then retested. Results…

Su, I-Ru – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2001
Investigated how adult monolinguals and bilinguals incorporate the context cue in assigning the agent role vis-a-vis intrasentential cues (animacy and word order). Subjects were first and second language speakers of Chinese and English. Results show that both Chinese and English controls paid less attention to context than to intrasentential cues…

Gerken, Louann; And Others – Cognition, 1994
Infants heard sentences in which prosodic structure was either consistent or inconsistent with the syntactic structure. Results suggest that the prosodic information in an individual sentence is not always sufficient to assign a syntactic structure and that learners must engage in active inferential processes to arrive at the correct syntactic…
