Abstract

Pickering and Garrod’s integrated model of production and comprehension includes no explicit role for non-linguistic cognitive processes. Yet, how domain-general cognitive functions contribute to language processing has become clearer with well-specified theories and supporting data. We therefore believe that their account can benefit by incorporating functions like working memory and cognitive control into a unified model of language processing.
