Books in the Special Issues of Language and Cognitive Processes series

Spoken word access processes are the mental processes which underlie our ability to recognise spoken words. They are the perceptual processes which take the sequence of buzzes, bursts and chirps that make up the raw speech signal and convert them into a sequence of words. This book contains articles and short reports which examine these processes.

Articles in this special issue deal with three different topics of general interest for models of language production: A. the general organizational principles of the language production system, B. several aspects of the lexical selection process and C. the representations and processes used during syntactic encoding.

This edited volume contains articles and short reports which examine Spoken Word Access Processes, the mental processes which underlie our ability to recognise spoken words.

This Special Issue is the third volume produced by a group of researchers who convene every two years to discuss the role of morphology in word recognition.

Ten years ago, a group of researchers investigating the processing of morphological information met in the south of France to discuss how morphology affects word recognition, perception and production from a cross-linguistic perspective. This special issue is the fourth volume to expose the results of this on-going research effort.

This special issue on conceptual representation contains invited papers from leading researchers across the range of cognitive science disciplines, addressing the nature of semantic and conceptual representation in the mind and brain.

The papers in this special issue reflect the increased status on lexical representations in sentence processing research.

The third volume produced by a group of researchers, who convene every two years to discuss the role of morphology in word recognition.

Articles in this special issue deal with three different topics of general interest for models of language production: A. the general organizational principles of the language production system, B. several aspects of the lexical selection process and C. the representations and processes used during syntactic encoding.

This volume presents an exciting sample of the most recent research on the processing of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

This special issue samples the state of the art in research that attempts to describe the functional units that intervene between low-level perceptual processes and access to whole-word representations in long-term memory during visual word

This collection of papers and abstracts stems from the third meeting in the series of Sperlonga workshops on Cognitive Models of Speech Processing.

Suitable for those working in the field of language production, in neighboring areas of psycholinguistics and in linguistics, this book offers a fine sample of research into various processes that are involved in speaking.

The Special Issue is of interest not only to those who study the multimodal nature of communication, but also to those who seek new insights into psycholinguistic issues, using gesture as the "window" into the speaker's mind.

Begins with a comprehensive review of the nature of morphological priming, followed by a series of experimental papers that examine morphological processing in a variety of languages such as English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Chinese, and Spanish. This title makes use of a cross-linguistic perspective.

Provides an overview of directions within language production research and includes papers on word selection and its modelling, the production of pauses in sentence production, the interaction between spontaneous gestures and speech, and changes in language production behaviour in ageing.
