“…A procedural analysis of localized brain damage in Wernicke's temporal aphasia [Kertesz, 1979] has recently been attempted by Lavorel [1981]. Starting from a procedural flowchart of observed behavior in word selection [Marslen-Wilson and Tyler, 1980;Marslen-Wilson and Welsh, 1978], Lavorel applies some aspects of neuron network theory to postulate a normal fuzzing effect of calculation at several levels of the model.…”

NEUROLINGUISTICS, PERCEPTUAL-MOTOR PROCESSES, AND COOPERATIVE COMPUTATIONŜ ection 1 suggests that the study of process and representation should be intertwined in the analysis of language, and speaks of the importance of studying the brain in the human, the human in society, all immersed in an intricate flow of information processing. Section 2 stresses the important role of 'cooperative computation' -the dynamic interaction of simultaneously active brain regions -in the neurobiology of cognition in general and of language performance in particular. Section 3 offers a visuomotor metaphor for neurolinguistics which shows how a lesion may damage a pattern of cooperative computation rather than remove a subsystem which produces the behavior whose loss attends the lesion. Section 4 uses this perspective to analyze Broca's aphasia as well as temporal and parietal aphasias. Section 5 then gives a concluding perspective on the subtle problems of playing out cognitive function over a "system of systems" in the brain, to replace "faculty models" which mistakenly seek to locate distinct faculties of the mind in distinct regions of the brain.

“…These are at the level of phonetic speech studies that simulate speech errors (Lecours and Lhermitte, 1969;Reggia and Sanjeev, 1984), a model of aphasic language production, JARGONAUT, (Lavorel, 1982), as well as within lesionable models at a neural network level. These latter models simulate association, discrimination, and recognition of patterns employing associative network models that have been tuned or have adaptively learned to relate certain discriminations (Gordon, 1982;Wood, 1978;.…”

Computational neurolinguistics (CN) is an approach to computational linguistics which includes neurally-motivated constraints in the design of models of natural language processing. Furthermore, the knowledge representations included in such models must be supported with documented behaviorial ev~ce, normal and pathological. This paper will discuss the contribution of CN models to ~the understanding of linguistic "competence" within recent research efforts to adapt HOPE (Gigley 1981; 1982a; 1982b; 1982c; 1983a), an implemented CN model for "understanding" English to I'ESPERANCE, one which "understands" French.
