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.

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).

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

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

A theory of lexical access in speech production [PDF]
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1999 Preparing words in speech production is normally a fast and accurate process. We generate them two or three per second in fluent conversation; and overtly naming a clear picture of an object can easily be initiated within 600 msec after picture onset. The underlying process, however, is exceedingly complex.

Lexical access and lexical diversity in first language attrition [PDF]
Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2014 This paper presents an investigation of lexical first language (L1) attrition, asking how a decrease in lexical accessibility manifests itself in long-term residents in a second language (L2) environment. We question the measures typically used in attrition studies (formal tasks and type–token ratios) and argue for an in-depth analysis of free spoken ...

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).

The Role of Orthotactics in Language Switching: An ERP Investigation Using Masked Language Priming
Brain Sciences, 2019 It is commonly accepted that bilinguals access lexical representations from their two languages during language comprehension, even when they operate in a single language context. Language detection mechanisms are, thus, hypothesized to operate after the
