While the notion of the brain as a prediction machine has been extremely influential and
productive in cognitive science, there are competing accounts of how best to model and …

The Noticing Hypothesis–an hypothesis that input does not become intake for language
learning unless it is noticed, that is, consciously registered (Schmidt, 1990, 2001)–has been …

Fundamental learning abilities related to the implicit encoding of sequential structure have
been postulated to underlie language acquisition and processing. However, there is very …

We used event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate the time course and distribution of
brain activity while adults performed (1) a sequential learning task involving complex …

The article gives a precise definition of the notion of doublet and applies it to French
nominalizations in-age and-ment. The dimensions of competition that play a role in the case …

During the past decades, converging evidence from clinical, neuroimaging and
neuroanatomical studies has demonstrated the key role of the cerebellum in the processing …

Within referential approaches to meaning, Carlson's (1977) notion of kind as an entity has
played an in uential role not only in the analysis of generic sentences, but also in the …

Do all languages convey semantic knowledge in the same way? If language simply mirrors
the structure of the world, the answer should be a qualified “yes”. If, however, languages …

This chapter addresses issues concerning terminological knowledge bases (TKBs). A TKB
was initially defined at the crossroads of terminology and knowledge engineering as a …

Many fundamental aspects of human learning can be characterized as problems of
induction–finding patterns and generalizations in space and time in conditions of uncertainty …
