A major issue in understanding how language is implemented in the brain involves
understanding the use of language in language comprehension and production. However …

Gibson's Dependency Locality Theory (DLT)[Gibson, E. 1998. Linguistic complexity: locality
of syntactic dependencies. Cognition, 68, 1–76; Gibson, E. 2000. The dependency locality …

This paper proposes a new theory of the relationship between the sentence processing
mechanism and the available computational resources. This theory–the Syntactic Prediction …

This paper reports the results of five experiments designed to investigate the effects of
referential processing on sentence complexity. Gibson (Cognition, 68 (1998) 1) suggested …

This Special Issue on Connectionist Models of Human Language Processing provides an
opportunity for an appraisal both of specific connectionist models and of the status and utility …

Linguistic complexity is a measure of the cognitive difficulty of human language processing.
The present paper proposes dependency distance, in the framework of dependency …

The understanding of sentences involves not only the retrieval of the meaning of single
words, but the identification of the relation between a verb and its arguments. The way the …

We evaluate the predictions of two theories of syntactic processing complexity, dependency
locality theory (DLT) and surprisal, against the Dundee Corpus, which contains the eye …

To say the least, modularity and connectionism are strange bedfellows. They are both broad
claims about cognitive structure, but beyond that most researchers see the two approaches …

Do people use sensori-motor cortices to understand language? Here we review
neurocognitive studies of language comprehension in healthy adults and evaluate their …
