The National Science Foundation will support a workshop on The Relation between Parsing and Production, to be held at the University of Maryland, College Park, as a part of the 17th Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing, March 25-27, 2004. The workshop will bring together leading researchers on language production and language understanding from psychological, computational and neuropsychological perspectives, with the goal of generating a new synthesis of the parallels and differences between production and comprehension. Until recently, research on speaking and understanding investigated largely different phenomena, using largely different methodologies; this led to the view that sentence comprehension and sentence production are largely independent cognitive systems. Recent advances in both fields now suggest a different picture: parallel experimental and computational investigations of speaking and understanding indicate that there is substantial overlap in the mechanisms used for both tasks. The specific questions addressed at the workshop will include the following: What do sentence comprehension and production have in common, beyond the fact that they use the same language? Do comprehension and production operate on the same time-scale? How can experimental findings of close parallels between speaking and understanding be reconciled with the finding of dissociations between speaking and understanding in language disorders? What methodologies will allow closer comparison of comprehension and production?The workshop will have broad impacts for both research and education. A proper understanding of the relation between language production and language comprehension is important for a number of different fields, including language learning and especially the study of language disorders, where language comprehension and language production have often been found to be differentially impacted. An improved understanding of the relation between comprehension and production also has implications for the development of computational models of interactive natural language agents. The workshop will foster interaction among researchers in different fields, and by supporting the participation of students, it will enhance the training of a new generation of researchers. Results of the workshop will be made available through publication in a special journal issue.

2004年3月25日至27日，美国国家科学基金会将支持在马里兰大学帕克分校举办一个关于解析和生成之间关系的研讨会，作为第17届纽约市立大学人类句子处理年会的一部分。本次研讨会将从心理学、计算学和神经心理学的角度汇集语言产生和语言理解方面的主要研究人员，目的是对语言产生和理解之间的相似之处和差异进行新的综合。直到最近，关于说话和理解的研究使用了很大不同的方法，调查了很大不同的现象；这导致了句子理解和句子生成在很大程度上是独立的认知系统的观点。这两个领域的最新进展现在显示出一幅不同的图景：对说话和理解的并行实验和计算研究表明，这两项任务所使用的机制存在大量重叠。在研讨会上讨论的具体问题将包括：除了使用同一种语言之外，句子理解和句子表达有什么共同之处？理解和生产在同一时间尺度上运行吗？在语言障碍中，说话和理解之间的密切相似的实验发现如何与说话和理解之间的分离的发现相协调？什么样的方法可以更密切地比较理解和生产？研讨会将对研究和教育产生广泛的影响。正确理解语言产生和语言理解之间的关系对于许多不同的领域都很重要，包括语言学习，特别是语言障碍的研究，在这些领域中，语言理解和语言产生经常被发现受到不同的影响。对理解和产生之间关系的更好理解也对交互式自然语言代理的计算模型的发展有影响。讲习班将促进不同领域的研究人员之间的互动，通过支持学生的参与，它将加强对新一代研究人员的培训。讲习班的结果将通过在一本特刊上发表来提供。
