Abstract(in English) Traditionally, production, comprehension, and acquisition have been studied separately. My talk will review work looking at how we can link these domains together into a unified framework called the P-chain (Dell & Chang, in press). The implications of this framework can be seen in work with connectionist model called the Dual-path model (Chang, Dell, & Bock, 2006). The model shows how a mechanism for language learning can explain both language acquisition and production phenomena like structural priming. The same model can learn different languages like English and Japanese (Chang, 2009) and can explain different processing biases in each language (e.g., heavy NP shift). The model links these phenomena with comprehension phenomena like prediction in visual world studies. The model also provides a way to explain L2 language development and processing with the same mechanisms that are used to explain L1 language acquisition and I will discuss some new work in this domain.
