"From its beginnings, the study of the mental lexicon has been at the crossroads of research and scholarship. This volume presents a polylogue--a textual conversation of many voices. It is designed to capture the excitement within the field and generate a deeper understanding of key issues and debates for established researchers, students, and readers interested in language and cognition. The first chapter examines how the mental lexicon itself can be seen as a polylogue. In the following six chapters, authors tackle the fundamental questions concerning future research on lexical representation and processing in an interactive structure that presents new perspectives and captures the excitement of the field. The themes include the value of cross-linguistic megastudies, the nature of meaning, how to capture truly natural language, what can be learned from lexical acquisition, the advantages of a functionalist perspective, and the role of schemas in understanding morphology and the lexicon"--

"These lectures deal with the role of cognitive modelling in language-based meaning construction. To make meaning people use a small set of principles which they apply to different types of conceptual characterizations. This yields predictable meaning effects, which, when stably associated with specific grammatical patterns, result in constructions or fixed form-meaning parings. This means that constructional meaning can be described on the basis of the same principles that people use to make inferences. This way of looking at pragmatics and grammar through cognition allows us to relate a broad range of pragmatic and grammatical phenomena, among them argument-structure characterizations, implicational, illocutionary, and discourse structure, and such figures of speech as metaphor, metonymy, hyperbole, and irony"--

Drawing on cutting-edge ideas from the biological and cognitive sciences, this book presents both an innovative neuro-computational model of language comprehension and a state-of-the-art review of current topics in neurolinguistics. It explores a range of newly-emerging topics in the biological study of language, building them into a framework which views language as grounded in endogenous neural oscillatory behaviour. This allows the author to formulate a number of hypotheses concerning the relationship between neurobiology and linguistic computation. Murphy also provides an extensive overview of recent theoretical and experimental work on the neurobiological basis of language, from which the reader will emerge up-to-date on major themes and debates. This lively overview of contemporary issues in theoretical linguistics, combined with a clear theory of how language is processed, is essential reading for scholars and students across a range of disciplines.

Cet ouvrage souhaite initier, tout chercheur intéressé par le langage, à l’essentiel de la psychomécanique guillaumienne, seule approche prenant résolument en compte le phénomène irréductible de la représentation. Ce phénomène est présent dans tous les aspects du langage oral et écrit, cette approche se refusant à ignorer les sujets parlant et écrivant. L’originalité et la pertinence des vues de Gustave Guillaume sont présentées dans un style très particulier, nécessité par l’acuité de ses analyses. Aussi, l’auteur prépare-t-il le lecteur à ce style, soit en anticipant le sens avant les citations, soit en en le commentant après ces dernières, soit en utilisant les deux types d’explications. Les concepts guillaumiens appartenant au vocabulaire de la psychologie instituée et ceux concernant la psychomécanique du langage sont étudiés successivement, un index de ces notions permettant de les retrouver rapidement. Ce livre propose une introduction à la psychomécanique guillaumienne dont la richesse et la profondeur sont encore trop ignorées.

This book addresses different forms of discourse by analysing the emergence of power dynamics in communication and their importance in shaping the production and reception of messages. The chapters focus on specific cognitive aspects, such as the verbal expression of reasoning or emotions, as well as on linguistic and discursive processes. The interaction between reasoning, feelings, and emotions is described in relation to several fields of discourse where power dynamics may emerge and includes, among others, political, media, and academic discourse. This volume aims to include representative instances of this heterogeneity and is deeply rooted, both theoretically and methodologically, in the acknowledgment that the investigation of the complex interaction between reason and emotion in discursive productions cannot be exempt from the adoption of a multi-disciplinary perspective. By providing a critical reflection of their methodological decisions, and describing the implications of their research projects, the contributors offer insights which are relevant for students, researchers, and practitioners operating in the broad field of discourse studies. Patrizia Anesa is a researcher in English Language and Translation at the University of Bergamo, Italy. She holds a PhD in English Studies, with a specialisation in professional communication. Her research interests lie mostly in the area of specialised discourse, and in particular in the investigation of knowledge asymmetries in expert-lay communication. Aurora Fragonara is an adjunct lecturer in French Language and Linguistics at the University of Bergamo and the University of Milan, Italy. She holds a PhD in Linguistics from the research centre CREM at the University of Lorraine, France. Her main research interests are French discourse analysis and enunciation theory, which she combines with cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, and semiotics.
