This book is divided into five sections dealing with various
fundamental issues in current research: attention, information
processing and eye movement control; the role of phonology in
reading; syntax and discourse processing and computational models
and simulations. Control and measurement of eye movements form a
prominent theme in the book. A full understanding of the where and
when of eye movement control is a prerequisite of any complete
theory of reading, since it is precisely at this point that
perceptual and cognitive processes interact.
Amongst the 'hot topics' included are the relation between
parafoveal and foveal visual processing of linguistic information,
the role of phonology in fluent reading and the emergence of
statistical 'tuning' approaches to sentence parsing.
Also discussed in the book are three attempts to develop
quantitative models of reading which represent a significant
departure in theory-building and a quantum step in the maturation
of reading research.
Much of the work reported in the book was first presented at the
5th European Workshop on Language Comprehension organised in April
1998 which was held at the CNRS Luminy Campus, near Marseilles. All
contributions summarise the state-of-the-art in the relevant areas
of reading research.
