welcome

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to Münster and the International Workshop on Language Production! We are

delighted to have you with us. It is already the 4th workshop in a series which was

started by Xavier Alario and Albert Costa in Marseille four years ago. Niels Schiller was

our kind host in Maastricht and Matt Goldrick at the Northwestern University. It is, once

more, our common interest in the functioning of the language production system that

brings us together. In the following three days, data, their interpretation and

consequences for models will be presented and discussed in an informal environment.

Talks and posters will inform us about new findings from psycholinguistic and

neurolinguistic perspectives and we will have ample time for exchange.

The DFG and our host, the Westfälische Wilhelms-University of Münster, are supporting

this workshop. The work and suggestions of the Scientific Committee, Xavier Alario

(Université de Provence, France), Albert Costa (Universitat de Barcelona, Spain), Victor

Ferreira (University of California at San Diego, USA) and Matt Goldrick (Northwestern

University at Chicago, USA) have contributed greatly to the quality of this workshop. It

simply would not have been possible without their help and that of our support back

home. Finally yet importantly, we would like to thank the presenters for taking the effort

to come to Münster to present their latest research and findings. Thanks very much for

being here, and in advance, for your participation. Enjoy the Workshop!

Language production deficits

Compounds are an extremely interesting domain for neuro-linguistic research. The main findings from recent investigations in aphasia can be summarized as follows:

1) The knowledge of the compound status of a phonological form, that of the compound structure with respect to the position of the components, and that of word building rules have been demonstrated to be independent from the knowledge of the phonological form of the compound.

2) Evidence is there for de/composition along the way in processing, even in the case of opaque compounds.

3) Semantically based, rule based and lexically based gender assignment to compounds is shown to undergo independent processing.

4) There is evidence of essentially simultaneous activation of the compound components in retrieval.

5) All meaningful representations seem to be activated in retrieval, including both those concerning isolated components and that of the whole word.

6) Headedness and position interact in the processing of compounds.

ERPs data showed a more negative-peak in the LAN (and probably also in the N400) component in case of compounds. These results are compatible with a dual route model that posits, in case of compounds, not only a whole-word access, but also an activation of decompositional representations of the constituents. This was ultimately confirmed by longer positive-going after 500 ms for compounds than for other words. While in behavioural analysis no difference was found in processing Left and Right Headed compounds, a differential effect was evidenced on the P300 component between these two conditions.

Neuro-cognition during language production

Humans constantly have to select important stimuli from a complex environment. Most attention research focuses the effects

of visual features on stimulus selection. However, objects do not solely consist of visual properties: their names and meanings may

also influence the selection process. In an fMRI study, subjects viewed blocks of two simultaneously presented pictures which

were either phonologically related (e.g. cat-cap) or unrelated (e.g. cat-pill). In the "attend" match-to-sample task, one of the pictures

had to be monitored for either a specific phonological onset, offset, or semantic category. In the "ignore" task, both pictures had to be

disregarded and a simple comparison was made for lines displayed in between the pictures. Results were most striking for the attend offset and ignore task. In the offset task, unrelated vs.

related pairs revealed higher BOLD signal change in the language network related to phonological encoding, especially in the inferior

frontal gyrus (BA 44), and in the posterior middle temporal gyrus (Wernicke), indicating priming in cases of sophisticated

phonological processing. No relatedness effects were present in the onset and semantic task. For the ignore task the left insula

was more active in related than unrelated conditions, suggesting that the insula processes phonological codes for ignored picture

names, eventually to filter out irrelevant information. The direction of the observed effects is discussed in the context of priming and

selection for relevance.

Advance planning of form properties in spoken and written language production tasks

A key issue in research on the generation of spoken utterances concerns the extent to which speakers plan ahead at various levels. The scope of advance planning at the level of phonological encoding is at present particularly controversial. Results from a variety of experimental paradigms will be described in which speakers are asked to generate utterances consisting of single or multiple words (picture-word interference, implicit priming, multiple object naming with static and moving displays, Stroop tasks, etc.). In these tasks, the main aim is to identify the degree to which speakers have planned the utterance before they initiate their response. The possibility that speakers may flexibly adjust advance planning to specific experimental situations, and/or to changing task demands, will be discussed. The results from spoken production will also be compared to those from studies in which responses are not spoken, but either typed, or handwritten.

Syllables in speech production: Storage versus

computation

Syllables are generally assumed to play a role in spoken language production. There is agreement that syllabic structure contributes

to processes such as phonological word formation and stress assignment. There is, however, disagreement over whether

syllabic structure is retrieved as part of the lexicalized word form, or whether it only emerges in online-syllabification processes that

follow lexical access. In either case, the output of word form encoding is considered to be a phonological word that contains a string of syllables specified for segmental and metrical properties.

A further question concerns the issue of whether or not these syllables activate their corresponding motor programs in a

separate store - the ‘mental syllabary’ - that supplies speakers with precompiled motor programs to facilitate the final steps of

speech planning.

In the first part of my talk, I will review data stemming from different experimental paradigms and different languages that provide evidence for and against the assumption that syllable

structure is a lexical property. I will argue against stored syllabic structure at a lexical level and for a context-dependent, post-

lexical online computation of syllables.

In the second part of my talk, I will review findings and present data that strengthen the view that syllabic motor programs are

retrieved from a mental syllabary. In particular, I will present data from fluent, neurologically intact speakers and from disfluent, neurologically impaired speakers to explore how storage and computation of syllables might interact between the levels of

phonological/phonetic encoding and articulation. Finally, I will address the question of how the incremental execution of

subsequent syllables depends on factors such as frequency and the size of the phonological word.

Speaking in a meaningful context: The flexible microstructure of language production With a single spoken word, for instance the word “bee”, we can express a variety of different kinds of meanings. Depending on whether we refer to an animal species, an apiary or a hard-working colleague, different semantic features are relevant for the respective concept. I will discuss a series of experiments demonstrating that the context in which an utterance is produced can exert a strong influence on lexicalization. For instance, and in contrast to classic observations in contextually isolated naming paradigms, meaningful contexts can trigger categorically induced facilitation- as well as associatively induced interference effects in single word production. These findings speak against a hard-wired architecture of the production system in which pre-defined sets of features and items are activated. Instead, I will argue for a flexible architecture that is shaped by meaningful contexts and task demands. During speech planning, meaningful relations can be formed and ignored as the specific context requires. This evidence can bring us closer to understanding why dog doesn’t always interfere with poodle whereas bee sometimes interferes with honey.

Sentence production and grammatical cognition: The representation and

computation of linear order

Sentence production phenomena are an important source of constraints on models of grammar and of grammatical processing that aim for cognitive plausibility. I start with a critical examination

of experimental and speech error data that are often interpreted as supporting the distinction between a functional and a positional

stage of sentence production. I will argue that the available data do not justify this distinction.

Another widely held assumption concerns the existence of syntactic movement operations and of syntactic traces (gaps) left

behind by such operations. A review of the sentence production evidence reveals that traces/gaps are real, at least in the case of

fronted Wh-constituents. However, I will outline a model of syntax (called Performance Grammar, PG) that generates traces/gaps

without moving constituents around.

The upshot of the foregoing is that the computations giving rise to functional (hierarchical, dominance) structures should be viewed

as distinct from, but intimately intertwined with, linear order computations.

Finally, I address the time course of linear order computations. In the PG formalism, they involve that dispatch syntactic constituents

to particular slots in one-dimensional arrays called topologies. Very often, these rules can predict the target slot of potentially

upcoming constituents at a point in time where the type an/or the lexical content of these constituents is yet to be determined. I will

briefly discuss a set of perception-to-production priming RT experiments whose results are compatible with this property of

linear order computing.

Modeling speech motor control in normal and disordered speech: Cognitive and developmental issues Research in speech motor control in normal and disordered speech was inspired in the 1980s by hierarchical computational models, comprising a cognitive-motor interface, and the motor stages planning, programming and execution. In recent years, mounting evidence from behavioral, neurophysiological, clinical, and developmental studies seems to suggest that “..speech, or any motor behavior, is best viewed as a cognitive–motor accomplishment.” (Kent, 2004, p.3). This presentation will give an overview of research in acquired and developmental disorders of speech motor control, which reflects this transition of theoretical orientation. The recent history of research in motor speech disorders can best be illustrated in the field of stuttering research. After the psychosomatic (psychology and learning theory) approach to explain stuttering, which was reaching an impasse in the late 1970s, the focus shifted to speech motor processes in stuttering, especially with respect to the execution stages. In the past two decades, two important developments have taken place. First, it became apparent that speech motor execution alone can not explain the complex symptoms as found in stuttering, but that higher order psycholinguistic and motor planning processes are relevant as well. Second, historical boundaries between the fields of stuttering and other motor speech disorders no longer appeared valid. Parallel developments in research and modeling took place in studies of the dysarthrias and apraxia of speech. Thus, tremendous progress has been made in modeling the facilitation and control of speech movements and understanding the underlying processes, neurological correlates, and pathological conditions. An overview of studies in this field will be presented, starting with the classical distinction between programming and execution deficits, moving towards more interactive models and the role of perception in normal and pathological speech. Studies on the controversial disorder developmental apraxia of speech (DAS) illustrate the main issues involved. Finally, preliminary results of a recently started project aiming at the simulation of DAS with help of the computational-neurological model DIVA (Guenther & Perkell, 2004) will be presented.

What disordered articulation may tell us about phonetic

plans

The Nijmegen model of spoken language production incorporates a separate stage referred to as phonetic encoding. At this stage,

speakers are considered to access a store of syllable-sized, holistic motor programs, which provide the input to the motor

execution stage of speech production.

Lesions to anterior regions of the left perisylvian cortex may lead to a syndrome named apraxia of speech. This condition has for

several reasons been related to the phonetic encoding component of Levelt’s model. A straightforward prediction from this model

then is that patients with apraxia of speech have lost access to the syllable lexicon (“dual-route hypothesis”).

In my presentation I will first set the stage for a discussion of this hypothesis and will then present data from several experiments

which disclose that the structure of phonetic plans must be more complex than Levelt’s model postulates. If data from disordered

speakers are accepted as a contribution to the modeling of normal speech production, the conclusion to be drawn from these data is

that phonetic plans have a tree-like, hierarchical structure, extending from a basic gestural level to the level of metrical feet.

Theoretical and clinical consequences of this model will be discussed.

Holding your tongue: Cross-language competition and inhibition in speaking a second language

Studies of lexical access in spoken production suggest that when bilinguals speak in one language alone, candidates in both languages are active briefly. Two approaches characterize most past research on this topic. In one, variants of picture-word Stroop have examined the effects of distractors related to a picture’s name. The observation of interference or facilitation has been taken to indicate the presence and locus of cross-language activity during speech planning. An alternative is to exploit words in the two languages that share form and meaning. Cross-language similarity produces facilitation in naming cognate pictures, suggesting that the unintended language is active to the level of the phonology. At issue is whether, and to what level, there is activity of the nontarget language during speech planning, whether that activity results in competition for selection, and by what mechanism the word in the intended language is eventually selected. I review recent studies of bilingual word production in which we manipulate the relative activity of each language. Using both behavioral and ERP measures, our results suggest that when bilinguals speak words in their L2, the L1 is active regardless of whether it is required. Other evidence from these experiments suggests that alternatives in both languages compete for selection and that words in the unintended language appear to be inhibited.

Evolving and Learning Wordform Lexicons

Wordforms represent words as strings of phonemes or letters that appear in speech or text. A wordform lexicon is the set of

phonological or orthographic wordforms used in a given language, and language users play a role in creating and shaping their

wordform lexicons over the course of language evolution. Language users must also create and shape their own wordform

lexicons over the course of spoken and written language development. Two studies are presented that address each of these two levels of wordform analysis. At the level of language

evolution, communicative constraints on the distinctiveness versus efficiency of wordform lexicons are hypothesized to compete with

each other, and in their balance a scaling law is predicted to emerge in the substring structure of wordform lexicons. Evidence for the predicted scaling law is found in the wordform lexicons of

numerous languages. At the level of language development, a neural network model of wordform acquisition is shown to learn

distributed representations for nearly 75,000 English wordforms. This model overcomes the limitations of slot-based and related

codes that have hindered models of lexical processing for twenty or so years, and its representations are sensitive to the well-

formedness of wordforms as compared with participant ratings. The interplay of these evolutionary and developmental levels of

analysis is discussed.

There’s More to the Hand than Meets the Eye: Speech-Gesture and Vocal-Motor Development in Typical and Atypical Populations This talk presents findings from four lines of research designed to address the broader issue of when and how the close relationship between speech production and spontaneous hand gestures develops. The first focuses on the relationship between gesture as a predictor of developing language in typically- and atypically-developing toddlers. The second explores the extent to which parents interacting with typically- and atypically-developing toddlers (“gestural motherese”) in relation to the child’s developmental level. The third examines data relevant to a model of the developmental origins of the gesture-speech system in infant vocal-motor coordination; and the final line of work assesses whether atypicalities in infant vocal-motor development and coordination may provide an early index of eventual autism spectrum disorder diagnosis.

Speech accompanying gestures facilitate

conceptualization processes for speaking

When we speak, we often spontaneously produce gestures. There is evidence that suggest that gesturing facilitates speaking; however, the exact underlying mechanism for facilitation is

controversial. Some theories claim that gesture facilitates lexical access (e.g., access of the phonological forms) and others claim

that gesture facilitates conceptualization process (e.g., determining what to say in the utterance being planned). In this

presentation, I will review the studies on the link between speech production and gesture production. I argue that the most

parsimonious account of the findings is that gesture facilitates the conceptualisation process, rather than the formulation process.

What I see is what you get; a heuristic illusion in human communication

In the human communication literature, there are conflicting findings about whether human communicators design their referring expressions 'egocentrically' (Keysar & colleagues) or that they do take into account the listeners perspective (Schegloff & Sacks' 'recipient design'). These contradictory findings can be reconciled by assuming that Recipient Design only activates under certain conditions. We therefore hypothesized that humans suffer from the "Illusion of Mutual Visibility" (IMV), which leads them to believe that when their interlocutor is co-present, and the object referred to is in the same room, that their interlocutor's field of vision is identical to their own. We used the Jast Construction Task platform (JCT) to test whether people do indeed suffer from this illusion, by manipulating the visibility of the pointing devices of both participants. We found strong evidence that speaker's referring behavior is guided by whether they themselves can see the listener's pointing device, instead of by whether the listener can actually see their own (the speaker's) pointing device. This provides strong evidence for the IMV.

Conditional naming: the locus of response decision revealed

by ERPs

In the Job and Tenconi study (2002), a dual task, conditional naming, did not produce behavioural costs compared to free

naming. In the present study we investigate when target and non-target during conditional picture naming (composed by

identification and categorization) diverge and whether living and non-living objects require extracting the same information to

perform response decision. EEG was recorded during spontaneous speech response. Differences between the two

categories are reflected in both RTs and ERPs. Both living and non living targets elicit an increased P3b with respect to non-

targets, although living target and non-targets diverge already during the N1 time window. These findings indicate that response

decision during conditional naming is based on information of different nature for livings and non livings. While for the former,

generic structural information is sufficient to trigger superordinate categorization, for non-livings, classification can be initiated only

extracting post-sensory information.

Phonological neighbors have been shown modulate phonetic properties of a word. Baese and Goldrick (submitted) demonstrate that voice onset time (VOT) varies according to lexical neighborhood structure. For example, the /k/ in 'cod' has a longer VOT than the /k/ in 'cop.' This reflects contrasting neighborhood structure: 'cod' has a highly similar neighbor 'god,' while 'cop' does not ('gop' is not an English word). The current experiment examines whether adding novel neighbors to the lexicon results in a similar modulation of phonetic properties of a word. Following Gaskell and Dumay (2003), we use a paradigm to train listeners on novel words. This paradigm has been shown to result in increased competition in speech perception between novel words and their existing neighbors. By analyzing speaker’s productions of words such as ‘cod’ and ‘cop’ before and after training, we will examine whether brief training results in lexically conditioned phonetic variation.

The representation of homophones in spoken word

production: Evidence from reading aloud

This study investigates whether homophones have a shared phonological word form representation (e.g., Levelt et al., 1999) or

independent representations (e.g., Caramazza et al., 2001). The evidence from the literature to date is contradictory, hence to

address this debate further we used a reading aloud paradigm. Low frequency irregular homophones (e.g., ‘thyme’) were matched

to low frequency irregular controls. The ‘shared representation’ account predicts that homophones are read faster than controls.

The ‘independent representation’ account predicts neither an advantage nor a disadvantage for homophones: Reading

performance should be governed by the homophone’s specific-word frequency instead. However, against the predictions above,

results revealed a homophone disadvantage. Our findings were replicated with an independent database of reading latencies

(Balota et al., 2002). Additionally, this study compares attempts to simulate the homophone disadvantage using three different

computational models of reading.

Cross-language transfer as a gradient process

L2 research has typically viewed phonological processes as categorical. We instead propose that they can be gradient. We find that L1 final consonant devoicing is transferred to an L2, but not completely. Furthermore, we document that cross-linguistic lexical-level properties (i.e., cognate status) can trigger gradient phonological processes in an L2. English productions of final consonants by German-English bilinguals show that final devoicing is transferred from German to English. Furthermore, bilinguals' English productions fall between their German productions and monolingual English speakers' productions, suggesting a gradient transfer of the process to the L2. In addition, we found an influence of lexical status on final devoicing in the bilinguals' German productions. Cognates show a bigger voicing distinction than noncognates, suggesting that an L2 process ("express voicing distinction") can also be transferred gradiently to the L1. These results suggest that phonological processes can be gradient both within and across languages.

The role of movement in object attraction in sentence

production

Recent research on attraction (verb agreement with an attractor noun other than the subject head) in French has shown attraction

in object relative clauses (e.g., *John speaks to the patients that the medicine cure) but not in the corresponding complement

clauses (e.g., *John says to the patients that the medicine cure) (Franck et al., 2007). Three experiments are reported that tease

apart the role, on attraction, of three structural properties specifically involved in relative clauses: (1) the object is part of the

argument structure of the agreeing verb, (2) object movement in preverbal position transits via an intermediate position intervening

on agreement, (3) this intermediate position is an agreement position in French (AgrO involved past participle agreement).

Results show that attraction is independent of argument structure and of agreement status. Rather, movement appears as a critical

condition, both necessary and sufficient, for attraction.

Investigating Top-Down Bias Effects in Lexical-Semantic Encoding

Evidence from neuroimaging suggests that working memory plays an important role in lexical access. According to one account, WM-capacities are required for the task-specific top-down modulation of lexical-semantic activation during lemma selection. We recently found that in a cyclic semantic blocking paradigm, semantic interference effects increase under high cognitive load relative to a no-load condition. In this paradigm, participants repeatedly name small sets of objects, potentially allowing for top-down bias effects to operate. If the increased interference effects we found under high cognitive load resulted from reduced capacities for top-down modulation, the interaction of semantic interference and WM-load effects should vanish when the task-specific potential for top-down modulation is reduced. This prediction was borne out in an experiment using a non-cyclic variant of the semantic blocking paradigm. We discuss this and related findings with regard to models of lexical access in language production.

Morpho-phonological processes in spoken

production: Evidence from aphasia

The interaction of morphology and phonology -morpho-phonology- is supported by the fact that the sound patterns of multi-

morphemic words may differ from those of mono-morphemic words and that phonological processes often make reference to

specific morphemes (e.g., in English, stem stress depends on the suffix: humídity, húmidness). We investigated the speech errors of

an aphasic individual (WRG) who appears to suffer from a morpho-phonological deficit that largely spares general

phonological processes. This sparing is indicated by nearly flawless repetition (97% phoneme accuracy). In contrast, in

elicitation and reading, WRG systematically repairs (simplifies) marked phonological structures: stress on adjacent syllables

(brísknèss->brisk/Id/ness), geminate consonants (ster/nn/ess->ster/n/ess), and clusters in multi-morphemic words (wal/kt/-

>walk/tId/). Furthermore, WRG produces phonological repairs more frequently in multi-morphemic than mono-morphemic

environments. WRG is a bi-lingual German/English speaker and exhibits similar behavior in both languages. WRG’s performance

provides evidence for morpho-phonological processes that are distinct from general phonological processes. His errors also

reveal properties of the phonological/prosodic word.

Phonological encoding in L2 requires more central processing resources than in L1

We report two experiments assessing whether single word production in bilinguals’ second language (L2) entails a more effortful control processing (involving central processing resources) than word production in L1. To assess this issue, bilingual participants conducted a dual task interference paradigm, in which they had to perform a picture-naming task (Task 1) and a non-linguistic task (a tone-classification task - Task 2). The target pictures were presented along with semantically related, phonologically related or unrelated distractors. In Experiment 1 we asked a group of 50 Catalan-Spanish highly-proficient early bilinguals to perform the task in their dominant and first language (Catalan). Subsequently, in Experiment 2 a group of 50 Spanish-Catalan highly-proficient early bilinguals was asked to perform the same task in their non-dominant and second language (Catalan). As reported before (Ferreira & Pashler, 2002), semantic interference effects were observed in tone-discrimination times both when the task was conducted in participants’ L1 and L2. However, phonological facilitation effects in tone-discrimination times were only observed when the task was performed in L2. We argued that this latter contrasting effect indicates that, while the processes involved in phonological encoding do not seem to involve general processing resources when speaking in L1, they appear to do so when speaking in L2.

PWI Electrified - Neural Correlates of Semantic

Interference and Facilitation

The interpretation of semantic inhibition (SI) in Picture-Word-Interference (PWI) as inhibition of all semantically related material

has recently been questioned. Here we report an experiment in which EEG was recorded to disentangle the processes involved

PWI. Distractors consisted of same-category words, surface-feature words, a row of XXXs or unrelated words. In line with previous

results, surface-features and XXXs facilitated naming, while category members slowed down naming compared to the

unrelated condition. The ERPs to picture onset showed that XXXs modulate both

Recognition Potential and N400. Surface-feature words seem to modulate components associated with object recognition, and to

reduce the N400. We found no reliable effects for category members.

We conclude that ERPs can be meaningfully related to processes in PWI. Further research is needed to relate these results to those

from comprehension research and from blocked naming, which showed effects for category members.

Lexical alignment between L1 and L2 speakers

Do we adapt to the linguistic necessities of non-native speakers? Generally, speakers in dialogue mirror their language choices at many levels, which facilitates communication (so-called “alignment”: Pickering & Garrod, 2004). Importantly, alignment likely functions differently in L1-L2 than in L1-L1 conversations. Possibly, L1 speakers align more with L2 than with L1 speakers, to ensure understanding. However, the roles of L1 speakers’ beliefs about their interlocutors’ competence, and of the actual feedback they get, are unclear. To study these factors, we conducted a lexical alignment experiment disguised as a picture-matching game. We found that 1) without feedback, L1 speakers align more with L2 than with L1 speakers; and 2) when feedback indicates flawless comprehension, L1 speakers’ alignment is the same with both interlocutors. We conclude that alignment by L1 speakers is affected by beliefs about their interlocutors’ competence, but these can be rapidly updated in accordance with L2 interlocutors’ linguistic behaviour.

A Word-Order Constraint On Phonological Activation

In many languages, word-order rules impose major constraints on linguistic behavior. Despite their importance, little is known about

how these rules operate. We report an influence of word-order on the activation of phonological representations during language

production. Participants were presented with colored objects (e.g., blue rake), and named either the color (e.g., blue) or the object

(e.g., rake). The phonological onset similarity between color and object name was manipulated (e.g., red rake vs blue rake). In

Experiment 1, French speakers showed a phonological congruency effect in color but, surprisingly, not in object naming.

In Experiment 2, English speakers yielded the opposite pattern: A phonological congruency effect in object, but not in color naming.

Differences in the typical order of object nouns and color adjectives in French and English provide a plausible account for

the cross-linguistic contrast in phonological activation.

Choice of words as a recipient adapted activity?

Repeating a speech partner's expression and overlaps between interlocutors in their choice of words is an empirically well-confirmed phenomenon known as lexical entrainment. This paper looks at accounts for these overlaps in word use. The question addressed is in how far the word use of the addressee in comparison to available words from other sources has a special impact on experts’ choice of words. A laboratory experiment was conducted that addresses the applied field of online health advice. 80 advanced medical students responded to a fictitious patient inquiry via email. Results indicate that the mere availability of words (whether they were used by the addressee or not) accounts for experts’ word use. Nonetheless, an analysis of experts' reflections on the patient's knowledge also indicated a metacognitive awareness of the specific word choice of the addressee.

Morphological Priming in Speaking:

Evidence from ERPs

Morphological knowledge of words is essential for the production of complex words ("hand.appel" [eating apple], not "han.dappel";

dots=syllable boundaries). In German, the production of morphologically complex words facilitates the subsequent production of picture names that are part of the previously

produced complex words. These facilitative effects were interpreted as morphological priming. Previous studies in

language comprehension suggest that the N400 component reflects morphological processes. Here, a long-lag word-picture

priming design was employed to collect behavioural data in Experiment 1 and event-related potentials (ERPs) in Experiment

2. While behavioural priming effects confirmed previous results and extended these to Dutch, the production of morphologically

primed picture names was associated with a negativity in the N400 time window. These findings suggest a morphological processing component in speech production that cannot be

reduced to semantic or form processing. Furthermore, ERP effects related to morphological processes are not identical for production

and comprehension.

Eye movements in Production: The eyes precede the mouth, but where, when and how?

We report results from a series of syntactic priming experiments, in which participants’ eye movements were tracked while they listened to a confederate’s description of a picture and subsequently described a similar stimulus themselves. The effect of priming on the eye movements has been reported elsewhere (e.g. Arai et al., CUNY 2007), but the data also allow us to draw more general conclusions with regard to the role of eye movements in language production. It is well-known that speakers look at objects in the order of their mention in a sentence, and that these gaze durations are affected by many factors. However, the eye-voice span, i.e. the time between the start of the last gaze to a to-be-mentioned entity and the onset of its name, seems to be less flexible. We discuss these and other measures and how they compare for comprehension and production tasks.

The limitations of cascading in the speech production

system

The view that activation flows freely through the mental lexicon has received support from the observation that ignored pictures can activate their phonological representations (e.g., Morcella &

Miozzo, 2002). In two experiments we examined whether all active concepts indeed activate their phonological representations. Using

colored pictures to name, we replicated Navarrete and Costa’s (2005) finding that when the pictures’ name is phonologically

related to the name of its color, the color naming task is facilitated compared to when the name of the picture is phonologically

unrelated. We also show that this effect is stronger when naming the picture is has been practiced. By contrast, the color’s name

has no effect on naming the picture, not even when color naming is practiced. The implications for the cascading view are

discussed.

Tracking the time course of semantic and phonological encoding through the electro-physiological analysis of different anomic patterns in comparison with normal word production

In the present study, we analysed the electrophysiological correlates of anomia with underlying semantic or phonological impairment. EEG was recorded twice during a delayed picture naming task with 128 channels covering the entire scalp in 6 anomic speakers and in a control group of 15 healthy subjects. Waveform analysis and temporal segmentation were carried out on the control group and on each sub-group of anomic patients in comparison to the control group. A lexical frequency effect was observed in the healthy group with both analysis (waveform and temporal segmentation) in the time window between 300 and 330 ms after picture presentation. Abnormal electrocortical correlates were differently distributed in the aphasic sub-groups according to the underlying impairment. Patients with conduction aphasia and impaired phonological encoding had normal electro-cortical activity during the first 300 ms and abnormal patterns between 300 ms and 450 ms. Patients with semantic impairment had earlier ERP abnormalities starting immediately after visual processes. The abnormal electrocortical correlates observed in these two different anomic profiles seem to correspond to the time windows of the impaired encoding processes and allows an estimation of the time course of semantic processes (before 300 ms) and phonological encoding (from approximately 300 ms to 450 ms).

Production of nominal compounds in aphasia

There is an ongoing debate about how polymorphemic words are represented and processed. While most of the current evidence

points to (de-)composition of the full form into its morphemic parts (Dohmes et al., 2004), other authors argue for a holistic retrieval

process, at least when considering the production of nominal compounds (Janssen et al., submitted). Furthermore, some

studies have shown that certain factors such as semantic transparency and frequency of the polymorphemic target may

have an impact on type of processing (Blanken, 2000). This study investigates the processing of nominal compounds in a

case series of German adults with aphasia and phonological or deep dyslexia. Each patient participates in a task of spoken

picture naming and reading aloud. Specific effects of full form and morpheme frequency, semantic transparency, and word type of

left constituent of the compounds were examined. The results support theories of (de-)composition.

Naming vs. categorization: Semantic relatedness and task instruction interact in the picture-word interference paradigm

Depending on the task (naming vs. categorization) opposing semantic effects have been obtained in the picture-word interference paradigm (i.e., interference vs. facilitation). However, in most studies task-instruction and naming-level were confounded (basic-level naming vs. superordinate-level categorization). In two experiments we thus investigated whether the task instruction modulates semantic effects if the target’s level of abstraction is held constant. Participants produced basic-level names (e.g., “flower”) and ignored distractor words denoting the pictures’ subordinate-level names (e.g., “rose”). Experiments only differed in details of their study/practice phase and the instruction. In Experiment 1, participants were familiarized with the pictures’ basic-level names, and received a naming instruction. In Experiment 2, participants were familiarized with the pictures’ subordinate-level names and received a categorization-instruction. Interference was obtained for the naming task while facilitation was obtained for the categorization task, indicating that the facilitation effect in categorization is in fact due to the task instruction.

Eyetracking supports a phonological (but not a

phonetic) component to the cognate facilitation effect.

Bilingual speakers name pictures faster when the name of the picture is phonologically similar in the speaker’s two languages

(cognates) than when they are phonologically dissimilar (non-cognates; Costa, Caramazza, & Sebastian-Galles, 2000). This cognate facilitation effect has been attributed to a phonological

level of encoding; however, a phonetic component is suggested given findings of cascading activation between phonological

planning and phonetic processes (Goldrick & Blumstein, 2006). Since participants fixate objects throughout phonological encoding but look away before speaking, eyetracking can be used to isolate independent contributions of phonological and phonetic encoding (e.g. Meyer & van der Meulen, 2000). German/French bilinguals

named pairs of common objects while their eye-movements were recorded. We tested whether the interval between fixation offset and speech onset was shorter for cognate pictures than for non-cognate pictures. The results confirm a phonological contribution

but do not support a phonetic contribution.

Cascading from phonological encoding to articulation? A computational investigation

Many studies suggest there is cascading of activation from non-selected representations at the word selection stage to the phonological encoding stage (e.g., Peterson & Savoy, 1998). But what about the interface between phonological encoding and later articulatory processes? Goldrick and Blumstein (2006) demonstrated in a tongue twister task that /k/s errorfully produced as /g/s had a longer voice-onset time (VOT) than correctly produced /g/s. Errors therefore reflect traces of their intended targets. Goldrick and Blumstein argued that this was evidence for activation from non-selected target phonemes cascading into articulation. We outline two ways in which a model without cascading from phonological encoding to articulation may also be able to account for this evidence, and use a small computational model to investigate these ideas further. Initial simulations imply that, contrary to Goldrick and Blumstein's (2006) suggestions, certain parameterisations of non-cascading models do indeed display traces of intended targets on speech errors.

Conceptual coherence affects phonological activation of

context objects during object naming

Whether the not-to-be-named context object is processed up to a

phonological level during speech planning is a question of continuing debate. While some studies presented evidence in

favour of such a view (e.g., Morsella & Miozzo, 2002; Navarrete & Costa, 2005; Meyer & Damian, in press), other studies failed to do so (e.g., Bloem & La Heij, 2003; Bloem et al., 2004; Jescheniak et

al., 2007). In a series of four picture word interference experiments containing a target and a context object, we demonstrate that

phonological activation of context objects is reliably observed if target and context object are embedded in a conceptually

coherent scene and that this activation disappears if both objects are presented in arrays of arbitrary objects. This pattern suggests

that details of the visual input, in particular its conceptual coherence, have important consequences for the lexical

processing of not-to-be named context objects.

Limited attentional resources affect semantic facilitation effects in object naming

Most language production models assume that activation automatically spreads to semantic competitors of a target word. Two experiments investigated whether this automaticity assumption still holds when speakers’ attention is drawn away from the naming task. Experiment 1 established a baseline semantic effect. Participants named a series of pictures; on a subset of these, consecutive pictures were either semantically related (e.g., prime – target: grapes – apple) or unrelated (helicopter – apple). We found a facilitation effect on naming latencies for target objects in the related condition. In Experiment 2, participants named the same critical prime-target pictures, but on a portion of the interleaved non-critical trials, they performed a phoneme monitoring task on the object names. In this experiment, the semantic facilitation effect vanished. We are currently investigating if it was the mere presence of a secondary task, or rather its nature (attending to word form properties) that caused the semantic effect to disappear.

An ERP study of word frequency and cognates in

speech production

The word frequency effect and the cognate facilitation effect are two phenomena, which influence naming latencies during speech

production. Up to know it is unclear at which processing stage during speech production these effects arises. Knowledge about

the locus in time of the frequency and cognate effect can enlarge our understanding of both phenomena and is of great importance for constraining speech production models. An ERP study with 14

Spanish-Catalan bilinguals performing a picture naming task in Spanish was conducted. Behavioural results show a clear

frequency effect and interaction between frequency and cognate status. In the ERPs high frequency items start to disperse around

150ms post target presentation from low frequency items and continue to disperse until the end of the epoch. Identical results

are found when comparing the ERPs between cognates and non-cognates. The results of the present study clearly offer

electrophysiological evidence for an early influence of frequency and cognate status in the speech production process.

Facilitation from verb distractors on picture naming: Is it due to response-relevant criteria?

Mahon, Costa, Peterson and Caramazza (JEP: LMC, 2007) recently investigated, among other things, the role of response-relevant criteria (RRC) in English language production. Using the picture-word interference paradigm, they compared the effects of semantically related (e.g. chair) vs. unrelated (e.g. rifle) distractor nouns with semantically related (e.g. sleep) vs. unrelated (e.g. shoot) distractor verbs on picture (e.g. BED) naming latencies. Their results demonstrated interference from semantically related nouns, but facilitation from verbs. Mahon et al. suggested that the language production system may discard distractor verbs as competitors more easily because they do not fulfill the RRC (i.e. produce a noun phrase). We would like to argue, however, that sleep may have a unique relationship with BED, and that the observed facilitation may arise due to the way uniquely related nouns and verbs are cognitively represented. In the present Dutch study, we attempted to empirically support our hypothesis by contrasting the effects of uniquely (e.g. slapen ‘to sleep’; as Mahon et al. did) and non-uniquely (though semantically) related verb distractors (e.g. zitten ‘to sit’) on picture (e.g. BED) naming latencies. We were unable to replicate the facilitation effect for uniquely related verb distractors but found significant facilitation for non-uniquely related verb distractors.
