Towards a Cognitive Model of Multimodal Output for Language Production∗
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper I discuss some points relevant for developing a computational cognitive model of the conceptualiser, the first component in the human language production system according to Levelt (1989). I describe extensions of the incremental conceptualiser (inC) with the aim of creating a cognitively plausible multimodal dialogue model. I point out a way to represent multimodal knowledge on the conceptual level, and I discuss at which point towards the production of preverbal messages (semantic structures) modal fission, i.e. the split into different modalities, occurs. I argue for a late modal fission; that is, fission does not occur during Levelt’s macroplanning but during microplanning.

Fluency in a second language (L2) involves a quintessentially cognitive processing system that operates quickly and effectively. The perceived importance of researching fluency through a psycholinguistic lens has motivated the related L2 research to resort to current cognitive speaking-specific models. This study, drawing on Levelt’s (1999a) psycholinguistic model, probed the deficiency sources...

The Impact of Multimodal Channels on Teaching Idiomatic Expressions to Intermediate EFL Learners with Regard to Their Attitudes
This study was to explore facilitative function of using multimodal channels over single channel presentation and comprehension of idiomatic expressions to Iranian EFL intermediate proficiency learners. Out of a pool of 90, sixty intermediate participants were homogenized by a QPT test, using a quasi-experimental design. They were randomly assigned to three equal groups: WhatsApp-, SMS- and Cla...
