The company that words keep: comparing the statistical structure of child- versus adult-directed language [PDF]
Does child-directed language differ from adult-directed language in ways that might facilitate word learning? Associative structure (the probability that a word appears with its free associates), contextual diversity, word repetitions and frequency were ...

Remembering 'zeal' but not 'thing':reverse frequency effects as a consequence of deregulated semantic processing [PDF]
More efficient processing of high frequency (HF) words is a ubiquitous finding in healthy individuals, yet frequency effects are often small or absent in stroke aphasia.

The effect of high- and low-frequency previews and sentential fit on word skipping during reading
In a previous gaze-contingent boundary experiment, Angele and Rayner (2013) found that readers are likely to skip a word that appears to be the definite article the even when syntactic constraints do not allow for articles to occur in that position.

Creating frequency lists with R
In a previous post, I provided two frequency lists without revealing the scripts to make them. This post explains how to create word frequency lists (lemmatized and unlemmatized) from the BNC 2014 (spoken), using R programming.

Does emotional valence modulate word recognition? A behavioral study manipulating frequency and arousal [PDF]
Effects of emotional valence have been observed in lexical decision tasks, suggesting that valence information modulates early word recognition. However, is still unclear the processing advantage of the different valence categories, and how these ...
