Subjective frequency estimates for 2,938 monosyllabic words.
Subjective frequency estimates for large sample of monosyllabic English words were collected from 574 young adults (undergraduate students) and from a separate group of 1,590 adults of varying ages and educational backgrounds. Estimates from the latter group were collected via the internet. In addition, 90 healthy older adults provided estimates for a random sample of 480 of these words. All gr...

Information about imageability of words can be obtained from the MRC Psycholinguistic Database (MRCPD) for English words and Léxico Informatizado del Español Programa (LEXESP) fo...
متن کاملThe Validation of MRCPD Cross-language Expansions on Imageability Ratings
In this article, we present a method to validate a multi-lingual (English, Spanish, Russian, and Farsi) corpus on imageability ratings automatically expanded from MRCPD (Liu et al., 2014). We employed the corpus (Brysbaert et al., 2014) on concreteness ratings for our English MRCPD+ validation because of lacking human assessed imageability ratings and high correlation between concreteness ratin...
متن کاملThe special phonological characteristics of monosyllabic function words in English
Monosyllabic Function Words of American English, such as articles (e.g. the, a), pronouns (him, them) and conjunctions (and, or), are notorious for their pronunciation variability in continuous speech. This study explores one potential correlate of this variation: the phonological character of Function Word forms. The Brown Corpus of 1 million words of written text, with each word token labeled...
متن کاملEvaluation of equivalency in two recordings of monosyllabic words.
Thirty "new" lists of monosyllabic words were created at the University of Melbourne and recorded by Australian and American English speakers. These new lists and the ten original CNC lists (Peterson and Lehiste, 1962) were used during the feasibility study of the Nucleus Research Platform 8 Cochlear Implant System (Holden et al, 2004). Performance was similar across original and new lists for ...
