Linking production, comprehension, and learning: A computational P-chain approach
Franklin Chang (University of Liverpool)

Abstract:
Traditionally, production, comprehension, and acquisition have been studied separately.  My talk will review work looking at how we can link these domains together into a unified framework called the P-chain (Dell & Chang, 2013).  The implications of this framework can be seen in work with connectionist model called the Dual-path model that can learn English or Japanese (Chang, 2009; Chang, Dell, & Bock, 2006), and which can explain different production and comprehension behaviours in each language.  Finally, I will discuss a new version of the Dual-path model which extracts meaning from visual scenes and which can explain eye-tracking in the visual world studies in English and Korean.  This spatial Dual-path model shows how the action understanding abilities that infants exhibit in social cognition studies can be used as the basis for language acquisition (Tomasello, 2003).
