Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.Abstract The term semantic primitives refers to a set of basic, atomic concepts from which all other (compound) concepts are constructed. It presupposes the principle of compositionality—the idea that complex items or expressions can be formed by combining simpler constituents.

Listeners normalize speech for contextual speech rate even without an explicit recognition task
, 2019 Speech can be produced at different rates. Listeners take this rate variation into account by normalizing vowel duration for contextual speech rate: An ambiguous Dutch word /m?t/ is perceived as short /mAt/ when embedded in a slow context, but long /ma:t/

The Role of the Brain's Pragmatic Language Network in Reading Comprehension in Autistic Children
Autism Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT One of the earliest and commonly reported symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a delay in language development. Such delay may sometimes accompany deficits which can have a long‐term impact on reading comprehension. It is frequently reported that autistic children exhibit significant difficulties in pragmatics, which is the ...

An Autistic “Linguatype”? Neologisms, New Words, and New Insights
Autism Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this commentary, we present new ideas about autistic neologisms. This essay has two primary goals. First, we argue that an autistic predilection to form neologisms generates intriguing new hypotheses about language in autism, including the possibility that a tendency to use neologisms could be a featural element of an autistic “linguatype” (

Autism Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face substantial challenges in understanding emotions, including difficulty in recognizing emotions through nonverbal cues, interpreting others' affective and mental states, and developing emotional vocabulary. Research suggests that the association between emotion recognition and social functioning

On the Nature of Semantic Constraints on Lexical Access [PDF]
Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2011 We present two eye-tracking experiments that investigate lexical frequency and semantic context constraints in spoken-word recognition in German. In both experiments, the pivotal words were pairs of nouns overlapping at onset but varying in lexical frequency.

Auditory and Semantic Processing of Speech‐in‐Noise in Autism: A Behavioral and EEG Study
Autism Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Autistic individuals often struggle to recognize speech in noisy environments, but the neural mechanisms behind these challenges remain unclear. Effective speech‐in‐noise (SiN) processing relies on auditory processing, which tracks target sounds amidst noise, and semantic processing, which further integrates relevant acoustic information to ...

Decomposability and mental representation of French verbs
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 In French, regardless of stem regularity, inflectional verbal suffixes are extremely regular and paradigmatic. Considering the complexity of the French verbal system, we argue that all French verbs are polymorphemic forms that are decomposed during ...

Attentional modulation of orthographic neighborhood effects during reading: Evidence from event-related brain potentials in a psychological refractory period paradigm [PDF]
, 2018 It is often assumed that word reading proceeds automatically. Here, we tested this assumption by recording event-related potentials during a psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm, requiring lexical decisions about written words. Specifically, we
