Lexical stress and lexical access: Homographs versus nonhomographs [PDF]
The purpose of the study was to examine the perceptual effects of altering lexical stress during word recognition. A detection task was utilized to measure subjects’ speed of response to target phonemes preceded by two-syllable homograph and nonhomograph words. These experimental words were pronounced with correct/incorrect lexical stress.

The Boundaries of Lexical Innovation within a Question-Defined Semantic Cohort
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

On the Nature of Semantic Constraints on Lexical Access [PDF]
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.

Individual Differences in Memory Span: The Contribution of Rehearsal, Access to Lexical Memory, and Output Speed [PDF]
Rehearsal speed has traditionally been seen to be the prime determinant of individual differences in memory span. Recent studies, in the main using young children as the subject population, have suggested other contributors to span performance, notably ...

Interchanging lexical resources on the Semantic Web [PDF]
Lexica and terminology databases play a vital role in many NLP applications, but currently most such resources are published in application-specific formats, or with custom access interfaces, leading to the problem that much of this data is in ‘‘data ...

Segmenting broadcast news streams using lexical chains [PDF]
In this paper we propose a course-grained NLP approach to text segmentation based on the analysis of lexical cohesion within text. Most work in this area has focused on the discovery of textual units that discuss subtopic structure within documents. In

Lexical Access in L2 Speech Production: a controlled serial search task
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).

Thalamic but Not Subthalamic Neuromodulation Simplifies Word Use in Spontaneous Language
Several investigations have shown language impairments following electrode implantation surgery for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in movement disorders. The impact of the actual stimulation, however, differs between DBS targets with further deterioration ...

Modeling lexical decision : the form of frequency and diversity effects [PDF]
What is the root cause of word frequency effects on lexical decision times? W. S. Murray and K. I. Forster (2004) argued that such effects are linear in rank frequency, consistent with a serial search model of lexical access. In this article, the authors
