Orthographic and semantic priming effects in neighbour cognates: Experiments and simulations

چکیده
Abstract To investigate how orthography and semantics interact during bilingual visual word recognition, Dutch–English bilinguals made lexical decisions in two masked priming experiments. Dutch primes English targets were presented that either neighbour cognates (boek – BOOK), noncognate translations (kooi CAGE), orthographically related neighbours (neus NEWS), or unrelated words (huid - COAT). Prime durations of 50 ms (Experiment 1) 83 2) led to similar result patterns. Both experiments reported a large cognate facilitation effect, smaller facilitatory translation the absence inhibitory orthographic effects. These results indicate is part due orthographic-semantic resonance. Priming for each condition simulated well (all r's >.50) by Multilink+, recent computational model retrieval. Limitations role lateral inhibition recognition are discussed.

the ability to speak two languages in the world is a remarkable achievement. there is a good reason to believe that bilingualism is the norm for the majority of people in the world because 70% of the earth’s population are supposed to be bilingual or multilingual. various investigations have shown that the native language impacts foreign word recognition, and this influence is adapted by the de...
Masked semantic priming effects from the prime's orthographic neighbours
The present research involved masked priming lexical decision experiments using, in the crucial condition, masked primes with an orthographic neighbour that was semantically related to the target. Regardless of the lexicality of the prime, a significant priming effect was observed when the relatedness proportion (RP, that is, the proportion of primes and targets that were directly related on th...

15 صفحه اولShared neighborhood effects in masked orthographic priming.
Several studies have found effects of orthographically related masked nonword primes on lexical decisions to target words. These effects have been explained by the neighborhood characteristics of the target word (Forster, 1987), but the neighborhood characteristics of the prime in combination with the target are also found to be important (Hinton, Liversedge, & Underwood, 1998). In this study, ...
متن کاملAutomatic Detection of Cognates Using Orthographic Alignment
Words undergo various changes when entering new languages. Based on the assumption that these linguistic changes follow certain rules, we propose a method for automatically detecting pairs of cognates employing an orthographic alignment method which proved relevant for sequence alignment in computational biology. We use aligned subsequences as features for machine learning algorithms in order t...
