This volume is derived from presentations given at a conference
hosted in Boulder, Colorado in honor of the 60th birthday of Walter
Kintsch. Though the contents of the talks, and thus the chapters,
varied widely, all had one thing in common -- they were inspired to
some degree by the work of Walter Kintsch. When making plans for an
edited book centered around this conference, the editors had a
primary goal: to acknowledge the wide variety of researchers and
research areas Kintsch had influenced. As a consequence, one of the
more unusual elements of this volume is the diversity of the
contributors.
Researchers from six different countries contributed chapters to
this book which is loosely organized around three main thrusts of
Kintsch's work:
* text-based representations that explain how meaning in a text is
constructed,
* situation models which represent what the text is about rather
than what a text literally says, and
* the construction-integration model, Kintsch's most recent work
in discourse comprehension.
