Sustained meaning activation for polysemous but not homonymous words: evidence from EEG.
Theoretical linguistic accounts of lexical ambiguity distinguish between homonymy, where words that share a lexical form have unrelated meanings, and polysemy, where the meanings are related. The present study explored the psychological reality of this theoretical assumption by asking whether there is evidence that homonyms and polysemes are represented and processed differently in the brain. W...
متن کاملValency Frames of Polysemous and Homonymous Verbs in VerbaLex
Verb valency lexicon VerbaLex is one of few language resources which take a local context into account. For each Czech verb with its sense, VerbaLex contains appropriate valency frames (patterns with morphological and syntactical information) in which the verb can appear. This, and the fact that a context of a word is crucial for determining sense of the word, makes VerbaLex suitable for disamb...
متن کاملNot all ambiguous words are created equal: an EEG investigation of homonymy and polysemy.
Event-related potentials (ERPs) were used to investigate the time-course of meaning activation of different types of ambiguous words. Unbalanced homonymous ("pen"), balanced homonymous ("panel"), metaphorically polysemous ("lip"), and metonymically polysemous words ("rabbit") were used in a visual single-word priming delayed lexical decision task. The theoretical distinction between homonymy an...
متن کاملClassification of EEG Signals for Discrimination of Two Imagined Words
In this study, a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) in Silent-Talk application was implemented. The goal was an electroencephalograph (EEG) classifier for three different classes including two imagined words (Man and Red) and the silence. During the experiment, subjects were requested to silently repeat one of the two words or do nothing in a pre-selected random order. EEG signals were recorded by ...
متن کاملIntralinguistic (Genre1) transferability and prototypicality of meaning of polysemous words: the case of BREAK.2
The problem of the transferability of the various meanings of a polysemous word from one language to another has been studied by many researchers (e.g., Cunningham and Graham, 2000; Kellerman,1978; 1986; Viberg, 1999). The underlying theory of 'core' and 'prototype' has been used in many of psychology and psycholinguistics, such as perception (e.g. Rosch, 1973), cognitive psychology (e.g., Mill...
