Exploring the scope and limits of incremental learning in word production - Evidence from picture-word interference and blocked-cyclic naming experiments

近年来，词汇加工的实验研究和计算建模一直是言语产生研究的热点。虽然有令人信服的证据表明，语境，在话语产生，有很大的影响词汇选择，即选择的话实际使用的发言者，很少有人知道是否语境也影响前面的词汇激活过程。目前的研究方案将集中于这个问题。基于指称交际研究的发现，它将集中在语言语境的影响，在目标话语之前，由说话人自己/自己或对话伙伴产生。特别是，我们将探讨，这些语言环境所施加的限制是否可以防止处理的词汇替代品，这将导致在当地不适当的话语。该研究计划将利用参照交际研究背景下开发的范式，从而弥合心理语言学中两种（在大多数情况下）独立研究传统之间的鸿沟：一方面探索指导参照交际的原则，另一方面对概念-词汇过程进行计时分析。我们的发现将有助于更深入地理解和更全面的建模的认知过程中的发言及其灵活性。

In the past years, the experimental investigation and computational modelling of lexical processing was in the focus of speech production research. Although there is there is compelling evidence that the context, in which an utterance is produced, has a strong influence on lexical selection, i.e. the selection of words actually used by a speaker, little is known about whether the context also affects the preceding lexical activation processes. The present research programme will focus on this question. Based on findings from referential communication studies, it will focus on effects from linguistic contexts which precede a target utterance and which are produced by either the speaker herself/himself or a dialogue partner. In particular we will explore, whether constraints imposed by these linguistic contexts can prevent the processing of lexical alternatives which would result in locally inappropriate utterances. The research program will make use of paradigms developed in the context of referential communication studies and will thus bridge the cleft between two - for most parts - independent research traditions in psycholinguistics: the exploration of principles guiding referential communication on the one hand and the chronometric analysis of conceptual-lexical processes on the other. Our finding shall contribute to a deeper understanding and more comprehensive modelling of the cognitive processes underlying speaking in context and their flexibility.
