Abstract
O’Grady’s keynote article comes at a timely moment when the acquisition and processing of
semantic phenomena in a first and/or second language are gaining renewed interest (Gibson
and Pearlmutter, 2011; Grüter, Lieberman, and Gualmini, 2010; Gualmini and Crain, 2005;
Musolino and Gualmini, 2011; Unsworth, Gualmini, and Helder, 2008) and feed into the longstanding
debate regarding the nature of language (Chomsky, 1993; Pinker, 1999). In this
commentary, we will first discuss the theoretical issues raised in O’Grady’s article and then
we will address acquisition and processing considerations
