Abstract and Keywords
This chapter focuses on psycholinguistics of language production. It provides empirical evidence for and against the two-stage model of language production, which assumes separate levels for functional (semantic and syntactic) processing, as well as for positional processing. The chapter also discusses the results of studies supporting the existence of lexically independent structure building operations in language production in addition to lexical representations. It also contends that lexically independent structural processes often receive a straightforward interpretation as abstract constructions in a Construction Grammar framework.
Keywords: psycholinguistics, language production, functional processing, positional processing, lexical representations, abstract constructions, Construction Grammar
Giulia M. L. Bencini is Assistant Professor in the Communication Sciences Program at the Hunter College Brookdale Health Sciences campus. She obtained her Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Illinois in 2002 and after that worked as a National Institute of Health funded postdoctoral research fellow at the Language Acquisition Research Center, at Hunter College-CUNY. She is an expert in psycholinguistics and combines insights and methods from linguistic theory, psycholinguistics, and language pathology in her work.
