The article presents debate on Graded Salience Hypothesis (GSH) given by the author. GSH claims that lexical processing takes priority over contextual processing. In the initial phase of language comprehension, contextual and lexical processes do not interact but run parallel, and this stage is dominated by lexical access. According to the author GSH assumes two different types of mechanisms that run parallel: a modular, bottom-up mechanism (e.g., lexical access) and a non-modular, top-down machinery (e.g., contextual processes). |
