Processing French - A Psycholinguistic Perspective

Informationen zum Autor PETER GOLATO is assistant professor of French at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Klappentext Processing French investigates the native language processing of French through word- and sentence-level studies and in doing so! accomplishes two goals. First! the book offers behavioral evidence in support of a dual-mechanism processing account at the word level. Second! by incorporating the findings of the wordlevel studies into sentence-level studies! it offers a window onto the morphological processing of displaced sentential elements. Professor Golato's research presents a fresh perspective on the scope of words and rules theory (WR theory)! a prominent theory of the mental representation of words! by demonstrating that with French! WR theory accounts for processing both at the word and at the sentence level. Previous work in this domain has focused almost exclusively on Germanic languages and has been restricted to word-level processing.
