【 摘 要 】

We created this research topic to address two closely related needs: to support a rapidly growing area of language science, and to support the (predominantly young) scientists who are working in this area. Recent years have seen a rapid growth in the amount of psycholinguistic research being carried out in linguistics departments. This has created a venue for exploring new questions. Understanding structured mental representations and the relations within them is the bread-and-butter of much research in linguistics, but the traditional focus has been on theories at a level of analysis that assumes discrete, symbolic representations, and is agnostic about how those representations are constructed in real time, whether in comprehension, production, or acceptability judgment tasks. Now there is a community of researchers who are working to understand these phenomena in more fine-grained terms.
