Abstract:
This paper is a comment on an article by Humphreys and Evett who criticise dual-route models of word naming and argue in favour of analogy theories. This comment on their paper points out that analogy theories suffer from the same deficiencies as dual-route theories. Given the imprecise formulation of analogy theories, it is not yet clear what they really do explain, nor whether they can be shown to be different from dual-route theories.
