Metaphors and the Mental Lexicon
Brain and Language, 1999In two experiments we investigate the possibility that lexicalization can account for the distinction between literal and metaphorical language. In both experiments, sentence contexts were presented with the final word missing. When subjects signaled they understood the context, two possible final words were presented and subjects were required to ...

A mental lexicon without semantics
Neurology, 2012An unresolved issue in language and aphasia research relates to the question whether the brain has an autonomous mental lexicon, which is separated from word semantics. So-called symbolic models assume the existence of such a lexical level1 whereas connectionist accounts claim that language sounds and meanings are connected through an associative ...

The Role of Prosody in the Mental Lexicon
Brain and Language, 1999Current models of spoken word recognition take into account factors such as word frequency, word onset cohort size, and phonological neighborhood density. Using the word onset gating technique we tested word recognition when bandpass filtering was used to allow subjects to hear the full prosodic pattern of a word (number of syllables and syllabic ...

This volume reflects a consensus that the investigation of words in the mind offers a unique opportunity to understand both human language ability and general human cognition. It brings together key perspectives on the fundamental nature of the representation and processing of words in the mind.

Broca’s aphasia, verbs and the mental lexicon
Brain and Language, 2004Verb production is notoriously difficult for individuals with Broca's aphasia, both at the word and at the sentence level. An intriguing question is at which level in the speech production these problems arise. The aim of the present study is to identify the functional locus of the impairment that results in verb production deficits in Broca's aphasia.

The Mental Lexicon, 2014
Visual word recognition is a capital stage in reading. It involves accessing a mental representation of a written word, including processes such as perception, letter coding and selection of the proper candidate in our mental lexicon. One key issue for researchers on this field is to shed light on the role of phonological and orthographic processes in ...

Morphology, Memory and the Mental Lexicon
2010Recent experimental evidence on morphological learning and processing has prompted a less deterministic and modular view of the interaction between stored word knowledge and on-line processing. Storing a word in the mental lexicon does not simply entail keeping a faithful memory image of that word in the most compact way.

Aspectual Constraints in the Mental Lexicon
Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2001This study addresses the question of whether constraints on aspectual semantics play a role in lexical processing. Two universal cognitive constraints are identified: "states cannot be delimited" and "telic predicates cannot be further telicized." The study investigates how these are obeyed in the productive process of perfective preverb and stem ...

This book surveys the psycholinguistic dimensions of lexical access to the mental lexicon in Japanese, and attempts to synthesize the diversity of Japanese psycholinguistic research into the nature of written word processing in Japanese. Ten chapters focus on the nature of such psycholinguistic inquiry and its history, the structural origins of the ...
