These domains are shown to have complex internal structure that is subject to specific constraints on well-formedness. In some cases acceptability judgments and electrophysiological data indicate that speakers have online, synchronic knowledge of these structural constraints. The similarities and differences between the grammars of natural languages and the written/graphical domains presented here will be discussed. Regardless of whether term ‘grammar’ is ultimately applied in these cases, the complexity and systematicity of the cognitive processes underlying these domains must be recognized. Introduction The notion of mental grammar has been at the heart of linguistic theorizing for much of the past century. The arguments for the existence of grammar, a set of mental rules/constraints governing the well-formedness of linguistic structures, are vast and varied, however the central argument that has been made in its favor is that speakers are capable of producing (and understanding) an infinite set of systematically structured words (phonology, morphology) and utterances (syntax). Within the cognitive sciences, the notion of mental grammar has been reserved to describe competence in spoken language, signed language, and on occasion, narrative structure. This symposium explores the possibility that the notion of grammar should be extended to other cognitive domains, specifically the domain of written and graphical communication. Four different domains representing a broad swath of written communication are considered: letter combinations in spelling (orthotactics), sequential images in comics, the internal structure of individual Chinese characters, and the formal structure of calligraphic scripts. Although these domains all integrate elements of spoken language (e.g., phoneme-grapheme mappings, thought bubbles in comics, etc.), this symposium focuses exclusively on those aspects that are distinct from spoken language: abstract orthography-specific spelling knowledge, the system by which narratives are constructed with sequential graphical panels, the internal formal structure of Chinese characters, and the constraints governing the articulation of brushstrokes in a calligraphic manuscript. The papers presented here provide theoretical and experimental evidence that the move to extend the notion of Modeling the statistical structure of orthographic representations The study of positional and sequential restrictions on speech sounds (phonotactics) is a traditional subfield of linguistics that has been the subject of much recent experimental and computational research (e.g., Vitevitch et al., 2004; Hayes & Wilson 2008). The possibility that there are analogous, independent restrictions on graphemic representations -- orthotactic constraints on letter or grapheme sequences that are formally similar to those found in spoken language but not reducible to phonotactics or other phonological regularities -- has not been extensively investigated (but see Jespersen 1909-1949; Venezky 1970). In this talk, Wilson evaluates the evidence for an independent orthotactic component by combining a number of methodologies: computational modeling of the mapping from phonology to orthography in spelling, which is plausibly constrained to construct letter strings that are orthotactically acceptable; experimentally elicited judgments of stimuli that differ in spelling but not pronunciation; and prediction of spelling errors made by normal and impaired individuals, which may" @default.
