As always, if you click through the link you’ll get the abstract of each article. Compass is a pay journal so the articles are only available to subscribers. So if you’re so inclined, talk your university library into subscribing. It usually isn’t that hard! I’m particularly pleased to have an article by my former colleague Julie Sedivy, who has done some really interesting work on the speed with which different aspects of meaning are processed. This work is, I think, a great example of how careful empirical research can make a difference to philosophical debates.
