Lexical access as a brain mechanism
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1999Abstract The following questions are addressed concerning how a theory of lexical access can be realized in the brain: (1) Can a brainlike device function without inhibitory mechanisms? (2) Where in the brain can one expect to find processes underlying access to word semantics, syntactic word properties, phonological word forms, and their phonetic ...

Asymmetric lexical access and fuzzy lexical representations in second language learners
, 2014For L2-learners, confusable phonemic categories lead to ambiguous lexical representations. Yet, learners can establish separate lexical representations for confusable categories, as shown by asymmetric patterns of lexical access, but the source of this ...

Difficulty in Lexical Access: The Lexical Bar
1995What features do some words have that make them more ‘difficult’ than others? In Chapter 4, I used the phrase ‘difficult in access’ to refer to specialist words extracted by the G-L Instrument. Chapters 5 and 7 also mentioned features that can make these words ‘difficult in access’ relative to other words. This chapter looks more closely at some of the

Tonal variability in lexical access
Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2014How do different types of tonal variability contribute to lexical access? We addressed this question by investigating a type of variability in Jinan tonal patterns, which is lexically non-contrastive but potentially contrastive in other words. This variability was tested against three levels of variability, namely, ‘acoustic identity’, ‘within-category

The dynamics of bilingual lexical access
Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2006In this article we discuss different views about how information flows through the lexical system in bilingual speech production. In the first part, we focus on some of the experimental evidence often quoted in favor of the parallel activation of the bilinguals' two languages from the semantic system in the course of language production.

How many levels of processing are there in lexical access
, 1997The patterns of semantic errors in speaking and writing are used to constrain claims about the structure of lexical access mechanisms in speech and written language production.

Morphological influences on lexical access: Lexical or nonlexical effects?
Journal of Memory and Language, 1986Abstract Three experiments investigated the basis of morphological influences on visual word recognition. Morphological structure affected lexical decision time for compound words, but suffixed words only showed such effects when presented in an environment including compound words.

Lexical access and lexical decision: mechanisms of frequency sensitivity
Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1983Three models of lexical access and lexical decision—the serial search model, the two-dictionary model, and a parallel-access, criterion-bias model—were tested in a large experiment (148 subjects, 458 words) comparing the effects of mixed- and blocked-frequency presentation on correct lexical decision times. Reaction times were faster for high-frequency

Morphology and L2 Lexical Access
, 2014Second language (L2) learners encounter new words that are further divisible into morphemes, the smallest linguistic units bearing meaning. How do they access such complex words in the mental lexicon? They have two options: a learner of English who hears

An unanchored matching algorithm for lexical access
ICASSP-88., International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2003Describes the lexical access component of the Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU) continuous speech recognition system. The word recognition algorithm operates in a left to right fashion, building words as it traverses an input network. Search is initiated at each node in the input network.
