چکیده
The well established effect of word frequency on adult's picture naming performance is now called into question. This is particularly true for variables which are correlated with frequency, as is the case of age of word acquisition. Since the work of [Carrol and White, 1973] there is growing agreement among researchers to confer an important role in lexical access to this variable. Indeed, it has been shown ( [Hodgson and Ellis, 1998]) that for normal English-speaking adults only the variables 'age-of-acquisition' and 'name agreement' are independent predictors of naming success among the various variables considered. However, when brain-damaged subjects with and without degenerative pathologies are studied, word frequency and word length as well as concept familiarity all give significant effects ( [Hirsh and Funnell, 1995]; [Lambon Ralph et al., 1998]; [Nickels and Howard, 1995]). Finally, it has been suggested that the production of specific error types may be related to such variables. According to [Nickels and Howard, 1994] the production of semantic errors is specifically affected by 'imageability' and in the recent study by [Kremin et al., 2001] 'age of acquisition' predicts (frank) word finding difficulties.

This paper describes our official runs for CLEF 2003. We took part in the monolingual task (for Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish), and in the bilingual task (English to Russian, French to Dutch, German to Italian, Italian to Spanish). We also conducted our first experiments for the multilingual task (both multi-4 and multi-8), and took part in the GIRT task.

We describe the Multilanguage Written Picture Naming Dataset. This gives trial-level data and time and agreement norms for written naming of the 260 pictures of everyday objects that compose the colorized Snodgrass and Vanderwart picture set (Rossion & Pourtois in Perception, 33, 217-236, 2004). Adult participants gave keyboarded responses in their first language under controlled experimental c...

We investigates the effectiveness of language-dependent approaches to document retrieval, such as stemming and decompounding, and constrast them with language-independent approaches, such as character n-gramming. In order to reap the benefits of more than one type of approach, we also consider the effectiveness of the combination of both types of approaches. We focus on document retrieval in ni...
