The Word-length Effect and Disyllabic Words

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section A, 2000
Three experiments compared immediate serial recall of disyllabic words that differed on spoken duration. Two sets of long- and short-duration words were selected, in each case maximizing duration differences but matching for frequency, familiarity, phonological similarity, and number of phonemes, and controlling for semantic associations.

Variable word length word-aligned hybrid compression

Proceedings of the 16th International Workshop on Data Management on New Hardware, 2020
The Word-Aligned Hybrid (WAH) compression is a prominent example of a lightweight compression scheme for bitmap indices that considers the word size of the underlying architecture. This is a compromise toward commodity CPUs, where operations below the word granularity perform poorly. With the emergence of novel hardware classes, such compromises may no

Abolishing the Word-Length Effect.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2004
The authors report 2 experiments that compare the recall of long and short words in pure and mixed lists. In pure lists, long words were much more poorly remembered than short words. In mixed lists, this word-length effect was abolished and both the long and short words were recalled as well as short words in pure lists.

Disfluency and Word Length

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1972
Five studies are reported in which the magnitude of the influence of word length upon the loci of instances of disfluency in the oral reading of stutterers and nonstutterers was investigated. The findings suggest that one factor which makes stutterers “unique”—differentiates them from nonstutterers—is not that they are more likely to be disfluent on ...

Fixed-word-length arrays in variable-word-length computers

Communications of the ACM, 1962
Scientific users of small-scale variable-word-length computers, such as the IBM 1401, may frequently have the occasion to use fixed-word-length arrays. For instance, it is common practice to store matrices row-wise in linear arrays. A linear array whose elements are addresses is a common storage allocation scheme for handling pushdown lists.

Word Length and Intelligibility

Language and Speech, 1959
Intelligibility tests were conducted with monosyllabic, bisyllabic and trisyllabic words under conditions of known and unknown message sets. Longer words were found to be more intelligible than shorter words in both known and unknown message sets.

Length vs. Order: Word length and clause length from the perspective of word order

Journal of Quantitative Linguistics, 1997
Abstract The present paper deals with two random variables: length of words and order of words (linear sequence, linear arrangement) in clauses of a text. The question to be answered is: What can a quantitative case study on Czech data add to our present knowledge of the relationship between the length of words and their placement in the clause?
