tied closely to language performance.Competence – The mental capacity to use and understandlanguagePerformance – The execution of competence in any real-worldsituationPerformance includes speech errors, ambiguity resolution basedon pragmatics, word/vocabulary recall, etc.Language is not a stored array of fully formed sentencesHow does the mind (brain?) form utterances?How is vocabulary stored in the mind?What goes on in the mind when we try to process a garden pathsentence?

study of how language is related to brain function

involves interdisciplinary research with cognitive science, medicine,biology, and traditional linguistics19th century Europe - numerous debates on how the brainfunctionsfunctional specialization - different functions for different parts ofthe brainpreviously considered an undifferentiated wholefirst physical piece of evidence: lesions in the brain correlating withspeech defectsBroca (1824-1880), and then Wernicke (1848-1905) - noticed thatindividuals with language impairment had lesions in a specific partof the left hemisphere of the brain.Early studies looked at speech deficits now known as aphasia

More common words have a faster reaction time.

Semantic Priming - A lexical item is ‘primed’ by a previoussemantically related word‘ballerina’ has a slightly longer reaction timeIf ‘dancer’ is presented first, it primes ‘ballerina’, which will thenhave a faster reaction time.More recent neurolinguistic research can break down lexical accessinto smaller stagessemantic priming is more complex than these earlier experimentssuggested.

“Calf” is ambiguous (종아리/송아지)

Is there a priming effect with either “leg” or “cow”?To calculate priming effect:

• Present “leg” for 50-100 ms• Present “calf” for 2000 ms• Test subject gives response A• Present “cow” for 50-100 ms• Present “calf” for 2000 ms• Test subject gives response B

Difference in response time (response latency) is the difference inthe priming effect of “leg” and “cow” to calf.
