Processing compound words: Evidence from synaesthesia
This study used grapheme-colour synaesthesia, a neurological condition where letters evoke a strong and consistent impression of colour, as a tool to investigate normal language processing. For two sets of compound words varying by lexical frequency (e.g., football vs lifevest) or semantic transparency (e.g., flagpole vs magpie), we asked 19 grapheme-colour synaesthetes to choose their dominant...
متن کاملProcessing Novel and Lexicalized Finnish Compound Words.
Participants read sentences in which novel and lexicalized two-constituent compound words appeared while their eye movements were measured. The frequency of the first constituent of the compounds was also varied factorially and the frequency of the lexicalized compounds was equated over the two conditions. The sentence frames prior to the target word were matched across conditions. Both lexical...

Confrontation-naming task and category-judgment tasks were used to examine and compare the performance of non-fluent an...

The preview of the second constituent of 2-constituent Finnish compound nouns was manipulated. The pr...
