The standard model is that word identification in reading is a holistic process, most efficient when words are centered in the visual field. In contrast, rational models of reading predict word identification to be a constructive process, where readers efficiently gather visual information about a word, and may combine visual information about different parts of the word obtained across multipl...

The present study aims to isolate the locus of the frequency effect within the spoken word recognition architecture. By applying the additive factors logic (Sternberg, 1969) to an auditory lexical decision task where both word frequency and stimulus quality were factorially manipulated, the reaction time data can be analyzed to study processing stages along the time course of spoken word recogn...

Do sexual words have high attentional priority? How does the ability to ignore sexual distractors evolve with age? To answer these questions, two experiments using Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) were conducted. Experiment 1 showed that both younger and older participants were better at identifying a target (the name of a colour) when it was preceded by 336 ms by a sexual word rather th...

We describe a method of word segmentation in Japanese in which a broad-coverage parser selects the best word sequence while producing a syntactic analysis. This technique is substantially different from traditional statisticsor heuristics-based models which attempt to select the best word sequence before handing it to the syntactic component. By breaking up the task of finding the best word seq...

Results of five experiments indicate that about 10-20% of the population is averse to the word "moist." This population often speculates that phonological properties of the word are the cause ...

Word alignment of bilingual parallel corpora is usually generated using only statistical information. External linguistic information like e.g. a dictionary or linguistic structural annotation of the texts is used rarely, despite its usefulness. Additionally, it has to our knowledge never been examined systematically how linguistic information can be employed for word alignment improvement. In ...
