Spoken language is produced and understood at a striking pace. For example, words in fluent speech are often produced at a rate of 2 or 3 per second, and many core linguistic distinctions (such as the physical properties that distinguish different speech sounds) hinge on timing differences involving just tens of milliseconds. How does the human mind cope with the dynamics of language? For example, during listening, how does our mental machinery manage to keep up with the pace at which information arrives in an unfolding utterance?

口语是以惊人的速度产生和理解的。例如，流利的语音中的单词通常以每秒2到3个的速度产生，而许多核心语言差异(如区分不同语音的物理特性)取决于仅涉及数十毫秒的计时差异。人类的大脑如何应对语言的动态变化呢？例如，在听的过程中，我们的心理机器是如何跟上信息在发声时到达的速度的？
