The 'Discriminative Lexicon Model' is a new theory of how we process
words, which moves radically away from most standard theories of
morphology. This book introduces the Discriminative Lexicon from both
a practical and a theoretical perspective. The first half explains the
basic theory and the main parts of 'JudiLing', the Julia package
implementing the theory. This is complimented by theory boxes
introducing the core concepts underlying the model, such as Matrix
Multiplication and the Rescorla-Wagner learning rule. The second half
provides a series of case studies spanning languages as diverse as
Maltese, Biblical Hebrew, Dutch, Navajo, Estonian and French, as well
as multilingual settings. It also shows how behavioural data like
lexical decision reaction times, acoustic durations or tongue
movements can be modelled. These are accompanied by practice
exercises. It is essential reading for researchers and students in a
wide range of linguistic fields, including phonetics and computational
linguistics.
