Such a disconnection has become all the more unfortunate since SFL ventured into the cognitive domain (Halliday… read more

This paper reviews psycholinguistic research on lexical translation equivalents to show how accumulating evidence constrained successive models of interlingual processing. Three stages are identified in the development of the field. First, in the foundational era, three initial models of… read more

This paper reviews relevant studies in order to establish preliminary data… read more
