Exploring the Lexicon

The debate on the nature and architecture of the lexicon plays a prominent role in current research in psycholinguistics, philosophy of language, natural language processing and cognitive science. Innovative models of lexical knowledge have emerged in theoretical and computational linguistics, with the major aim of providing new foundations to the representation of word content. Exploring the Lexicon presents a representative sampling of various approaches in lexical research addressing important syntactic and semantic issues at the theoretical and computational level.
