  • Abstract: If the mind is like a computer, how does it listen and speak? For decades, the studies of human and computer languages have informed each other. For example, formal-language theory in computer science originated from models of natural-language syntax. More recently, the same tools are useful for explaining apparent noncompositionality in both kinds of languages.
