The present work argues for the existence of multiple default regularities plural formation in Arabic. As evidenced corpus loanword adaptation Jordanian Arabic, this study calls a reassessment treatment idiosyncratic forms mental lexicon. This investigation is line with dual mechanism theory where both memory and rule are active, but more reliance on (feminine sound –aat) over (broken patterns)...

This article presents an experimental study of the role phonological representation word in lexical access during silent reading Russian. The component (i. e. whether semantics can be accessed via decoding or directly from orthographic image word) is actively discussed modern psycholinguistics. Homophones serve as a testing ground for these hypotheses: if graphemes are decoded into phonemes ord...

BACKGROUND Language reflects the state of one's mental health and personal characteristics. It also reveals preoccupations with a particular schema, thus possibly providing insights into psychological conditions. Using text or lexical analysis in exploring depression, negative schemas and self-focusing tendencies may be depicted. As mobile technology has become highly integrated in daily routin...

The paper reports on the behaviour of a Kohonen map of the mental lexicon, monitored through different phases of acquisition of the Italian verb system. Reported experiments appear to consistently reproduce emergent global ordering constraints on memory traces of inflected verb forms, developed through principles of local interactions between parallel processing neurons.

The implications of priming experiments for a structural theory of the mental lexicon depend critically on the development of an adequate theory of the mechanics of priming. Masked priming techniques may simplify this task, since consciously perceived relationships play no role in masked priming. The implications of adopting an activation-based approach to morphological priming is discussed, an...

Bilingual word association networks can be beneficial as a tool in foreign language education because they show relationships among cognate words of different languages and correspond to structures in the mental lexicon. This paper discusses possible technologies that can be used to generate and represent word association networks.
