1
Q
Basic assumptions of language models (4)
A
- mental representations = abstract information stored in the brain
- information processing has stages and sub-stages
- transmission of information takes time
- the nature and efficiency of information processing varies according to the amount and the types of information

Conceptualiser

- preverbal message
- intentional communication
- selects relevant information to be expressed
- monitors what has been said before
- monitors what we say and how we say it
- where we decide the general gist of what we want to say

responsible for giving grammatical and phonological shape to message
* translates a conceptual structure to a linguistic one
* takes the pre-verbal message and produces a phonetic or articulately plan

Q

Grammatical encoding
A
- accessing lemma and build syntactic structure
- procedure builds a surface structure - ordered group of lemmas
5
Q
L 1999
Lemmas
A
- contain declarative knowledge about an item’s meaning or sense
- activated when its meaning matches part of the pre-verbal message
- activates the meaning
- activates syntactic building procedures
6
Q
L 1999
Phonological encoding
A
- builds or retrieves an articulately plan for each of the lemmas and for the utterance as a whole
- access the lexeme/lexical form
- specifies intonation and stress patterns
- specifies both a motor plan and a motor programme
7
Q
L 1999
Articulation
A
the actual execution of the articulately plan
8
Q
L 1999
Parser speech
A
representation of the input speech in which combines phonological morphological, syntactic, and semantic composition
