Probability and surprisal in auditory comprehension of morphologically complex words.
Two auditory lexical decision experiments document for morphologically complex words two points at which the probability of a target word given the evidence shifts dramatically. The first point is reached when morphologically unrelated competitors are no longer compatible with the evidence. Adapting terminology from Marslen-Wilson (1984), we refer to this as the word's initial uniqueness point ...
متن کاملlexical decomposition awareness and its effect on delayed receptive and productive recognition and recall of vocabulary knowledge of morphologically complex english words: an iranian efl context
abstract lexical knowledge of complex english words is an important part of language skills and crucial for fluent language use (nation, 2001). the present study, thus, was an attempt to assess the role of morphological decomposition awareness as a vocabulary learning strategy on learners’ productive and receptive recall and recognition of complex english words. so 90 sophomores (female and ma...
15 صفحه اولParsing Morphologically Complex Words
We present a method for probabilistic parsing of German words. Our approach uses a morphological analyzer based on weighted finitestate transducers to segment words into lexical units and a probabilistic context free grammar trained on a manually created set of word trees for the parsing step.
متن کاملMemory and surprisal in human sentence comprehension
Humboldt famously described language as a system of rules which “makes infinite use of finite means” (Humboldt, 1836; Chomsky, 1965) and this is doubly true in the study of language comprehension. On the one hand, the comprehender’s knowledge of language must be finitely characterized: the brain itself as a computational device is finite, as is the comprehender’s experience of her native langua...
متن کاملNeural dynamics of reading morphologically complex words
Despite considerable research interest, it is still an open issue as to how morphologically complex words such as "car+s" are represented and processed in the brain. We studied the neural correlates of the processing of inflected nouns in the morphologically rich Finnish language. Previous behavioral studies in Finnish have yielded a robust inflectional processing cost, i.e., inflected words ar...
