Lexical access for low- and high-frequency words in Hebrew.
The hypothesis that phonological mediation is involved to a greater extent in the recognition of lowthan in the recognition of high-frequency words was examined using Hebrew. Hebrew has two forms of spelling, pointed and unpointed, which differ greatly in the extent of phonological ambiguity, with the unpointed spelling lacking almost all vowel information. A lexical decision task was employed ...
متن کاملContext Effects on Frequency Judgments of Words and Sentences'
A series of simple sentences (containing a single adjective, a noun, and a verb) were presented on a study trial. Presentation frequency of words comprising sentences was varied by presenting either repetitions of intact sentences or by recombining words from sentences for repetition in new sentences. Thus, modifiers (adjectives and verbs) accompanying repetitions of a given noun were either id...
متن کاملFrequency of concrete words modulates prefrontal activation during semantic judgments.
The effect of word frequency on semantic processing was characterized by studying two groups of right-handed participants using fMRI. Stimuli were presented in blocks of either high frequency or low frequency word triplets where a sample word appeared above a pair of test words. One group (n = 8) made semantic judgments by selecting the word from the test pair that was more closely associated w...
متن کاملImproving Collocation Extraction for High Frequency Words
The purpose of this paper is to introduce an alternative word association measure aimed at addressing the under-extraction collocations that contain high frequency words. While measures such as MI provide the important contribution of filtering out sheer high frequency of words in the detection of collocations in large corpora, one side effect of this filtering is that it becomes correspondingl...
