Context effects on lexical choice and lexical activation.
Speakers are regularly confronted with the choice among lexical alternatives when referring to objects, including basic-level names (e.g., car) and subordinate-level names (e.g., Beetle). Which of these names is eventually selected often depends on contextual factors. The present article reports a series of picture-word interference experiments that explored how the designated target name (basi...
متن کاملLexical choice in context: generating procedural texts
This paper shows how lexical choice during text generation depemls on linguistic context. We argue that muking c(Irrect lexieal choice in rite textual context requires distinguishing properties of concepts, which are ntme or less independent of file language, from language-specific representations of text where lexemes and their semantic and symantic relations are represented. In particular, l....
متن کاملFirst Language Activation during Second Language Lexical Processing in a Sentential Context
Lexicalization-patterns, the way words are mapped onto concepts, differ from one language to another. This study investigated the influence of first language (L1) lexicalization patterns on the processing of second language (L2) words in sentential contexts by both less proficient and more proficient Persian learners of English. The focus was on cases where two different senses of a polys...
متن کاملSemantic-context effects on lexical stress and syllable prominence
In the present study we investigated the effect of semantic context on the perception of words that differ only in the lexical stress pattern. Our study was based on the disyllabic German word AUGUST. Depending on whether the lexical stress is on the first or the second syllable the word refers to either a name or a month. By means of a forced-choice identification experiment we tested to what ...
متن کاملEffects of Acoustic Distortion and Semantic Context on Lexical Access
This study explored the role of attentional and perceptual factors in lexical access by examining the effects of acoustic distortion on semantic priming of spoken words by a sentence context. The acoustic manipulations included low-pass filtering, which was intended to interfere with the sensory encoding of the acoustic signal by reducing intelligibility, and time compression, which was intende...
