Idioms have always aroused the curiosity of linguists and there is
a long tradition in the study of idioms, especially within the
fields of lexicology and lexicography. Without denying the
importance of this tradition, this volume presents an overview of
recent idiom research outside the immediate domain of
lexicology/lexicography. The chapters address the status of idioms
in recent formal and experimental linguistic theorizing.
Interdisciplinary in scope, the contributions are written by
psycholinguists and theoretical and computational linguists who
take mutual advantage of progress in all disciplines. Linguists
supply the facts and analyses psycholinguists base their models and
experiments on; psycholinguists in turn confront linguistic models
with psycholinguistic findings. Computational linguists build
natural language processing systems on the basis of models and
frameworks provided by theoretical linguists and, sometimes
psycholinguists, and set up large corpora to test linguistic
hypotheses. Besides the fascination for idioms that make up such a
large part of our knowledge of language, interdisciplinarity is one
of the attractions of investigations in idiomatic language and
language processing.
This volume brings together a series of studies of morphological
processing in Germanic (English, German, Dutch), Romance (French,
Italian), and Slavic (Polish, Serbian) languages. The question of
how morphologically complex words are organized and processed in
the mental lexicon is addressed from different theoretical
perspectives (single and dual route models), for different
modalities (auditory and visual comprehension, writing), and for
language development. Experimental work is reported, as well as
computational and statistical modeling. Thus, this volume provides
a useful overview of the range of issues currently attracting
reseach at the intersection of morphology and psycholinguistics.
