Better explanations of lexical and semantic cognition using networks derived from continued rather than single-word associations.
In this article, we describe the most extensive set of word associations collected to date. The database contains over 12,000 cue words for which more than 70,000 participants generated three responses in a multiple-response free association task. The goal of this study was (1) to create a semantic network that covers a large part of the human lexicon, (2) to investigate the implications of a m...
متن کاملAssociative strength and semantic activation in the mental lexicon: evidence from continued word associations
In a word association task, the probability of producing a certain response to a cue is considered to be a direct measure of associative strength between words in the mental lexicon. The common single word association procedure is limited, since the number of words connected to a cue might be underestimated when a single response is asked. The continued association task overcomes this limitatio...
متن کاملHierarchical Structure in Semantic Networks of Japanese Word Associations
This paper reports on the application of network analysis approaches to investigate the characteristics of graph representations of Japanese word associations. Two semantic networks are constructed from two separate Japanese word association databases. The basic statistical features of the networks indicate that they have scale-free and smallworld properties and that they exhibit hierarchical o...
متن کاملWord Sense Induction for Better Lexical Choice
Most words in natural languages are polysemous in nature that is they have multiple possible meanings or senses. The sense in which the word is used determines the translation of the word. We show that incorporating a sense-based translation model into statistical machine translation model consistently improves translation quality across all different test sets of five different language-pairs,...
متن کاملComparing predictions of lexical norm data obtained using word associations and word collocation
We compared the quality of prediction of word variables based on a Dutch word association and text corpus. We derived estimates for: valence, arousal, dominance, concreteness and age of acquisition (AoA) for 2831 words. Based on the similarity between words we: (1) used projections on a dimension identified as the variable in question in a multidimensional representation, (2) used the k-nearest...
