Abstract

There has been in recent years an upsurge of interest in the cognitive study of the Chinese language. This is related, at least to some extent, to economic developments in China. More importantly, cognitive researchers have realized that the Chinese language provides challenging opportunities to explore language-specific processes involved in comprehension and communication, and to challenge the universality of theories developed from the study of European languages. In this talk, I will review recent research on Chinese language processing and discuss possible directions for future investigation.
