Syntactic Encoding and Syntactic Choice

Syntactic encoding creates a representation intermediate between a nonlinguistic conceptual level and a subsequent phonological level containing word forms. Lexical selection contributes to construction of a syntactic frame. Syntactic persistence, a form of implicit memory, suggests that syntactic structure is partly isolable from content. The relation between conceptual and syntactic formulation is a crucial question that is ripe for further exploration. Keywords: lexical selection; syntactic structure priming; incremental production; conceptual-linguistic translation
