Language Comprehension based on
- memory
  * discourse accessibility

* similarity-based interference
eg: The teacher said that Jonh cheated in the exam.
      (descriptive)             (name)
  John said that the student cheated in the exam.
  (name)              (descriptive)
                                                  vs.
  The teacher said that the student cheated in the exam.
  John said that Bill cheated in the exam.

→ similar NPs resulted in more RT
→ disimilar NPs resulted in less RT.

Thematic Role
In linguistics, a theta role or θ-role is the semantic role a noun phrase plays in a sentence. The term thematic role denotes the same concept. As such it is a semantic rather than a syntactic feature, in contrast to such notions as the subject of a sentence or a prepositional object.
For instance, in the sentence Debra broke the window, “Debra” is both the subject of the sentence and the agent and “the window” is the object of the verb and the patient. But in The window was broken by Debra, “Debra” is still the agent, even though “the window” is now the subject of the sentence.

Lemma
In morphology, a lemma is the canonical form of a lexeme. Lexeme, in this context, refers to the set of all the forms that have the same meaning, and lemma refers to the particular form that is chosen by convention to represent the lexeme. Lemmas have special significance in highly inflected languages such as Czech. In this sense, a lemma can also be called a citation form.
In psycholinguistics, the terms lemma has a more restricted use: it is an abstract form of a word that is used in speech production. In the best accepted psycholinguistic models, speech production has several stages, and the lemma occurs after the word has been selected mentally, but before any information has been accessed about the sounds in it (and thus before the word can be pronounced). It therefore contains information concerning only meaning and the relation of this word to others in the sentence.

好像我们因此就变得高大起来，距离就一下子缩短了许多。
可是转念一想，好歹也是在有的基础上追求更高更美的境界。
我们，却连有的谈不上。幸灾乐祸个什么劲儿呢？
他们的不好并不代表我们就好，何况他们还有那么多的好。

那天教授在酒后反复问，以后到底想要做什么。
支支吾吾地就是答不出来。

忙碌的生活看似充实，没有确定的方向，还是空。
春天的花都开了啊。

poverty of stimulus argument(Chomsky)
not enough information in the language samples given to children to fully account for the richness and complexity of children’s language.
–> the language children acquire is intricate and subtle, and the sample of speech given to them during the course of language development is anything but.
Therefore, although parents may assist the child’s language development in some ways and influence the rate of development somewhat, the pattern of development is based not on parental speech but on innate language knowledge.
