We examined whether word recognition accuracy and latency of words children encounter during primary school across the upper grades can be predicted from form (word length, mean Levenshtein distance, frequency neighbors), meaning (free association network markers) exposure (corpus contextual diversity). As a measure recognition, 1454 (M = 10.1 years, SD 11.8 months, 52.4% girls) in grade 3, 4 5...

multi-word lexical units are a typical feature of specialized dictionaries, in particular monolingual and bilingual maritime dictionaries. the paper studies the concept of the multi-word lexical unit and considers the similarities and differences of their selection and presentation in monolingual and bilingual maritime dictionaries. the work analyses such issues as the classification of multi-w...

A common assumption among models of orthographic processing is that letter-word inhibitory relationships all share the same strength: activity in letter B has impact on a word like RACE as does equivalent F. However, basic associative learning mechanisms imply existence neighbor FACE gives more opportunity to learn negative weight from F than non-neighbor B, leading stronger weights for letters...
