The book-length treatment of the TP (Yang, 2016) would have provided a fuller background and assuaged some of the commentators’ concerns. For instance, both Wittenberg & Jackdoff and Kapatsinski are incredulous that language could operate like a serial search model, the algorithmic foundation of the TP — because, they argue, the brain is parallel. But is a parallel brain really incompatible with serial behavioral effects? My (presumably parallel) brain can memorize and recite the digits of π in a strictly linear sequence. And there are numerous serial effects in the study of cognition that are the product of a parallel brain: the scanning memory model of Sternberg (1969), the linear search model of number representation and processing (Gallistel et al., 1992, Brannon et al., 2001), not to mention Weber’s Law (Gibbon, 1977). More to the point, a serial model is simply a better account of lexical processing. A picture (actually two) is worth a thousand words.

容忍原则的一些后果

对 TP（Yang，2016 年）的全书式处理可以提供更全面的背景，并缓解一些评论员的担忧。例如，Wittenberg & Jackdoff 和 Kapatsinski 都不相信语言可以像串行搜索模型一样运行，这是 TP 的算法基础——因为，他们认为，大脑是并行的。但平行大脑真的与连续行为效应不相容吗？我的（大概是平行的）大脑可以以严格的线性顺序记住和背诵 π 的数字。并且在认知研究中有许多串行效应是平行大脑的产物：Sternberg (1969) 的扫描记忆模型、数字表示和处理的线性搜索模型 (Gallistel et al., 1992, Brannon et al. ., 2001)，更不用说韦伯定律 (Gibbon, 1977)。更重要的是，串行模型只是对词法处理的更好说明。一张图片（实际上是两张）值一千字。
