The lexical processing of Japanese collocations by Chinese Japanese-as-a-Foreign-Language learners: An experimental study by manipulating the presentation modality, semantic transparency, and translational congruency [PDF]
IntroductionResearch on collocations has become an essential issue in L2 acquisition and cognitive psychology. Previous studies have mainly focused on phonographic languages such as English, Swedish, and German, and primarily discussed the effect of ...

Aging and semantic transparency effects in Chinese reading: evidence from eye movements [PDF]
Background Semantic transparency is typically defined in terms of compositionality, the extent to which the meaning of a word can be predicted from the meaning of each of its constituents, which is crucial for the processing of compound words.

The effects of cross-language overlap and semantic transparency on the processing of L2 collocations [PDF]
Although extensive research has been carried out on collocation processing, it is still unclear how cross-language overlap and transparency influence the processing of collocations by L2 learners.

A multi-criteria assessment of Japanese Kanji learning difficulty for educational prioritization using ANP–VIKOR [PDF]
IntroductionJapanese Kanji acquisition remains a major challenge for non-native learners because character learning involves multiple cognitive and linguistic factors, including visual complexity, semantic transparency, usage frequency, and pronunciation

The use of semantic transparency and L1-L2 congruency as multi-word units selection criteria
Multi-word units (MWUs) are defined as two or more words that commonly co-occur. There is evidence that knowledge of high-frequency MWUs is essential to language fluency, leading to growing research identifying valuable MWUs to learn and the impact of L1-

Modeling Morphological Priming in German With Naive Discriminative Learning
Both localist and connectionist models, based on experimental results obtained for English and French, assume that the degree of semantic compositionality of a morphologically complex word is reflected in how it is processed.

Reconocimiento de palabras: un experimento a partir de la tarea de decisión léxica
En este artículo se evalúa la posible relación entre la velocidad a la cual se procesan las palabras morfológicamente complejas y sus respectivos grados de transparencia semántica y de afijación, con el fin de inferir efectos explicables por los modelos ...

Semantic relations and compound transparency: A regression study in CARIN theory [PDF]
According to the CARIN theory of Gagné and Shoben (1997), conceptual relations play an important role in compound interpretation. This study develops three measures gauging the role of conceptual relations, and pits these measures against ...
