Lexical availability and grammatical encoding scope during spoken sentence production

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2013
Three sentence production experiments investigate the relationship between lexical and structural processing scope. Speakers generated sentences with varying phrase structures in response to visual displays (e.g., The dog and the hat move above the fork and the tree/The dog moves above the hat and the fork and the tree).

Effect of Ambiguity and Lexical Availability on Syntactic and Lexical Production

Cognitive Psychology, 2000
Speakers only sometimes include the that in sentence complement structures like The coach knew (that) you missed practice. Six experiments tested the predictions concerning optional word mention of two general approaches to language production. One approach claims that language production processes choose syntactic structures that ease the task of ...

Concreteness and Context Availability in Lexical Decision Tasks

The American Journal of Psychology, 2006
Abstract Three experiments were carried out to elucidate the origins of the concreteness (C) effect in a lexical decision task. The first experiment was a replication of the work of Schwanenflugel et al. (1988) and Van Hell and De Groot (1998), who presented the context availability (CA) hypothesis.

Cognitive Factors of Lexical Availability in a Second Language

2013
Previous research has shown that lexical availability is a complex property influenced by factors such as typicality, age of acquisition and concept familiarity (Hernandez Munoz N, Izura C, Ellis AW, Eur J Cogn Psychol 18:734–755, 2006). The influence of these factors might change in second languages (L2) due to variations in age of learning ...

Disentangling Context Availability and Concreteness in Lexical Decision and Word Translation

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section A, 1998
This study examines contrasting predictions of the dual coding theory and the context availability hypothesis regarding concreteness effects in monolingual and bilingual lexical processing. In three experiments, concreteness was controlled for or confounded with rated context availability.
