Syllabic Effects in Italian Lexical Access [PDF]
Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2009 Two cross-modal priming experiments tested whether lexical access is constrained by syllabic structure in Italian. Results extend the available Italian data on the processing of stressed syllables showing that syllabic information restricts the set of candidates to those structurally consistent with the intended word (Experiment 1).

Stages of Lexical Access [PDF]
, 1987 One of the most impressive capabilities of the human language user is the ability to access the right word at the right moment. In fluent speech words are produced at a rate of about two or three per second. That means that, on the average, every 400 milliseconds an item (a word, a root) is selected from the speaker’s sizable lexicon (which can easily ...

Gender and lexical access in Bulgarian [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 2004 Two procedures were used to explore the effects of semantic and grammatical gender on the recognition and processing of Bulgarian nouns, in relation to other factors that are known to affect lexical access. This study in a three-gender language was modeled on previous work in Italian, a two-gender language (Bates, Devescovi, Pizzamiglio, D'Amico ...

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 This study investigated the perception of Mandarin tonal alternations in disyllabic words. In Mandarin, a low-dipping Tone3 is converted to a high-rising Tone2 when followed by another Tone3, known as third tone sandhi.

Examining Letter Detector Tolerance through Offset Letter Halves: Evidence from Lexical Decision
Journal of Cognition, 2023 Neurobiological models of reading assume that the specialized detectors at the letter level (e.g., the arrays of detectors for the letter ‘n’) possess a certain degree of tolerance (e.g., Local Combination Detectors model, Dehaene et al. 2005).

Examining the validity of the Lexical Access Time Test (LEXATT2)
Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2012 This study aimed to investigate the validity of the Lexical Access Time Test (LEXATT2). The first step was to examine the test results to determine if it was able to differentiate between participants with different English proficiency levels.

The Boundaries of Lexical Innovation within a Question-Defined Semantic Cohort
Open Linguistics, 2014 This study explores the amount of lexical innovation (hapax legomena or non repeated words) during a question-led (i.e. semi spontaneous) spoken word production task. Native adult non-impaired Spanish speakers (n = 8) were asked the same question 8 times

Lexical access in bilinguals [PDF]
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1979 Spanish-English bilinguals were asked to determine whether a string of letters formed a word in their languages. Three separate conditions were used: two conditions blocked by language and a mixed-language condition. Some of the words were cognates, words with the same spelling and meaning in the two languages. There were no differences between blocked

Lexical Access in L2 Speech Production: a controlled serial search task
Ilha do Desterro, 2017 When it comes to lexical access in L2 speech production, working memory (WM) seems to play a central role as for less automatized procedures require more WM capacity to be executed (Prebianca, 2007).

Fuzzy Lexical Representations in Adult Second Language Speakers
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 We propose the fuzzy lexical representations (FLRs) hypothesis that regards fuzziness as a core property of nonnative (L2) lexical representations (LRs). Fuzziness refers to imprecise encoding at different levels of LRs and interacts with input frequency
