Description
Pfau's work unites the 'theoretical' and 'psycholinguistic' sides of language study in a truly unprecedented way. He shows how a theoretical proposal developed for modelling complex morphological phenomena in the abstract, as it were, can also provide a sophisticated and precise model of the specific steps involved in actual speech production in real-time, extending its scope to an entirely new type of data. The proposal is both visionary and deeply explanatory, and represents a real step forward in understanding how language is actually instantiated in the minds of speakers.
