Prediction is Production: The missing link between language production and comprehension

the relationship between collocational competence and listening comprehension

پس از پیدایش روش تدریس ‏‍tpr توسط جیمز اشر که توجه و تآکید بسیاری بر مهارت شنیداری داشت زبانشناسان همواره در صدد یافتن راههایی برای بهبود این مهارت در زبان آموزان می باشند. از طرفی جی-آر-فرث که از پیشگامان زبانشناسی می باشد بر تآثیر لغات و بویژه گروه کلمات که اغلب در گفتار با هم می آیند (هم آیی کلمات)تأکید بسیار کرده است. به این دلیل و به منظوربررسی رابطه بین این دو عامل یعنی درک شنیداری و دانش...

Language as skill: Intertwining comprehension and production

Are comprehension and production a single, integrated skill, or are they separate processes drawing on a shared abstract knowledge of language? We argue that a fundamental constraint on memory, the Now-or-Never bottleneck, implies that language processing is incremental and that language learning occurs on-line. These properties are difficult to reconcile with the ‘abstract knowledge’ viewpoint...

Language Comprehension and Production in Normal Aging

Since Cohen introduced the term ‘‘gerolinguistics’’ in 1979, there has been accelerating interest in understanding the nature of language in old age. Searching PsychINFO using the key words ‘‘language and aging’’ generated 9 citations for the decade from 1970 to 1979, 80 for 1980 to 1989, 270 for 1990 to 1999, and 171 for the 5-year period from 2000 to 2004. This surge in interest in language a...

Overview: does language production shape language form and comprehension?

Analyzing how predictability, especially statistically-based predictability, affects language comprehension has become a major theme in psycholinguistics (e.g., Jurafsky, 1996; Hale, 2001; Lau et al., 2006; Staub and Clifton, 2006; Levy, 2008). This interest can be traced back to a series of papers (notably MacDonald et al., 1994) challenging the received claim that frequency is largely irrelev...
