T he specificity and sensitivity involved in moth sex pheromone communication are remarkable and renowned Males are exquisitely sensitive and narrowly tuned to the female-emitted conspecific sex pheromone blend, which usually consists of two or three components (1, 2) Slight changes in the ratios of these components can shut off the upwind flight attraction response of males of one species and ...

In this study we explore some of the properties involved in the production of multi-word English utterances. In order to produce such utterances, the speech production system must retrieve several lexical units and organize them in a well-formed utterance, which follows the rules of the language being spoken. According to current models, the linguistic mechanisms involved in this process can be...

This paper aims to foster discussion of the means by which bilinguals control their two language systems. It proposes an inhibitory control (IC) model that embodies the principle that there are multiple levels of control. In the model a language task schema (modulated by a higher level of control) "reactively" inhibits potential competitors for production at the lemma level by virtue of their l...

In the past decade, there has been an upsurge of research on bilingualism. A theme in this work is that the bilingual’s two languages are always active, at times converging with one another to produce benefits to comprehension and production, but at other times conflicting, with the requirement to negotiate cross-language competition. A goal in the recent work has been to characterize the cogni...

In the following two chapters, we present an overview of the EXPLAN theory. The main focus of EXPLAN is on fluent speech control (Howell & Au-Yeung submitted; Howell, Rosen, Hannigan & Rustin 2000; Howell & Sackin 2000, submitted) but it is also relevant to diagnosis (Au-Yeung, Howell & Pilgrim 1998; Howell, Au-Yeung, Davis, Charles, Sackin, Williams, Cook, Rustin & Reed in press; Howell, Au-Ye...

The theory of lexical selection presented by Levelt, Roelofs & Meyer addresses the mechanisms of semantic activation that lead to the selection of isolated words. The theory does not appear to extend naturally to the referential use of words (particularly pronouns) in coherent discourse. A more complete theory of lexical selection has to consider the semantics of discourse as well as lexical se...
