ABSTRACT In [Nozari, N., & Hepner, C. R. (2018). To select or to wait? The importance of criterion setting in debates of competitive lexical selection. Cognitive Neuropsychology. Advance online publication. doi:10.1080/02643294.2018.1476335], we proposed a theoretical framework for reconciling two seemingly irreconcilable theories of lexical selection: competitive vs. non-competitive selection. The key point in this framework is the division of language production into two separate—albeit interacting—systems: a decision-making framework and a multi-layered system which maps meaning to sound. Technically, this can be accomplished by superimposing a signal detection model onto the distributions of conflict derived from the core dynamics of mapping semantic features to lexical representations. Based on this framework, we argued that a flexible selection criterion could accommodate patterns predicted by both competitive and non-competitive models of lexical selection. Five excellent commentaries posed various questions regarding the necessity, applicability, and scope of the proposed framework. This paper addresses those questions.

选择还是等待？对评论的回应

摘要在 [Nozari, N., & Hepner, CR (2018)。选择还是等待？标准设置在竞争性词汇选择辩论中的重要性。认知神经心理学。提前在线发布。doi:10.1080/02643294.2018.1476335]，我们提出了一个理论框架来调和两个看似不可调和的词汇选择理论：竞争与非竞争选择。这个框架的关键点是将语言生产划分为两个独立的——尽管是相互作用的——系统：一个决策框架和一个将意义映射到声音的多层系统。从技术上讲，这可以通过将信号检测模型叠加到冲突分布上来实现，冲突分布源自将语义特征映射到词汇表示的核心动态。基于这个框架，我们认为灵活的选择标准可以适应竞争性和非竞争性词汇选择模型预测的模式。五篇出色的评论就拟议框架的必要性、适用性和范围提出了各种问题。本文就这些问题进行了解答。
