The mental representation of language cannot be directly observed
but must be inferred and modelled from its effects at second hand.
Linguists have traditionally responded to this in two ways, either
going for a fairly data-light approach and valuing theoretical
creativity, or pursuing just those goals for which data is
available and trusting to data-driven descriptive work. More
recently, advances in technology and experimental techniques have
made data gathering easier and more accessible, so that a
theoretically informed but empirically based approach is rapidly
growing in popularity. This synthesis permits linguists to combine
the intellectual hypothesis generation of the theoreticians with
the ability to deliver hard answers of the empiricist. This volume
is a collection of papers in this direction, using mostly
experiment methods to yield insights into syntactic and semantic
structures, language processing, and acquisition. Papers report
corpus data, neurological investigations, child language studies,
and fieldwork from minority languages.
