Compound words prompt arbitrary semantic associations in conceptual memory
Linguistic relativity theory has received empirical support in domains such as color perception and object categorization. It is unknown, however, whether relations between words idiosyncratic to language impact non-verbal representations and conceptualizations. For instance, would one consider the concepts of horse and sea as related were it not for the existence of the compound seahorse? Here...
متن کاملSemantic processing of previews within compound words.
Previous studies have suggested that previews of words prior to fixation can be processed orthographically, but not semantically, during reading of sentences (K. Rayner, D. A. Balota, & A. Pollatsek, 1986). The present study tested whether semantic processing of previews can occur within words. The preview of the second constituent of 2-constituent Finnish compound nouns was manipulated. The pr...
متن کاملUsing Conceptual Combination Research to Better Understand Novel Compound Words*
Interpreting a novel modifier-noun phrase (e.g, licorice guitar) involves both the conceptual and lexical systems; one must access the concepts denoted by the words and select a relation (e.g., noun MADE OF modifier) to form a unified conceptual representation. We describe recent empirical work that demonstrates that the ease of interpreting a novel noun phrase is influenced by the availability...
متن کاملIndividual variability in the semantic processing of English compound words.
Semantic transparency effects during compound word recognition provide critical insight into the organization of semantic knowledge and the nature of semantic processing. The past 25 years of psycholinguistic research on compound semantic transparency has produced discrepant effects, leaving the existence and nature of its influence unresolved. In the present study, we examined the influence of...
متن کاملEEG decoding of spoken words in bilingual listeners: from words to language invariant semantic-conceptual representations
Spoken word recognition and production require fast transformations between acoustic, phonological, and conceptual neural representations. Bilinguals perform these transformations in native and non-native languages, deriving unified semantic concepts from equivalent, but acoustically different words. Here we exploit this capacity of bilinguals to investigate input invariant semantic representat...
