Royal Skousen's Analogical Modeling of Language is an ambitious attempt to define a new processing model of language use. According to this paradigm, the computation carried out when understanding and producing discourse is a process of comparing the current case/input with an entire corpus of previous cases and responding in the same way as in a randomly-chosen analogous case. This approach is in distinction to following rules (the conventional approach) or relying on associative memory (the connectionist approach).
