The Color Words in Eileen Chang’s Novels

Processing of Color Words 1 Running Head: Color Words and Color Representations Processing of Color Words Activates Color Representations Accepted for Publication in the Journal Cognition (2009)

Two experiments were conducted to investigate whether color representations are routinely activated when color words are processed. Congruency effects of colors and color words were observed in both directions. Lexical decisions on color words were faster when preceding colors matched the color named by the word. Color-discrimination responses were slowed down when preceding color words mismatc...

Surprise in the Learning of Color Words

In two experiments, we investigate whether, in English, children’s difficulty learning color adjectives might stem from their overwhelming tendency to be used in prenominal position (e.g., “blue cup”), where word order causes the adjective to arrive ahead of its meaning, rather than post-nominal presentation (e.g., “the cup is blue”), where the meaning cues the word. We consider factors of sequ...

The number of domino tilings of a region with reflective symmetry across a line is combinatorially shown to depend on the number of domino tilings of particular subregions, modulo 4. This expands upon previous congruency results for domino tilings, modulo 2, and leads to a variety of corollaries, including that the number of domino tilings of a k× 2k rectangle is congruent to 1 mod 4.

ions. Unlike type definitions, which specify necessary and sufficient conditions, schemata specify defaults and expectations. They are similar in structure, but different in use. Aggregations: New individuals may be defined as aggregations of parts. These aggregations are typically constructed by specializing the concepts of a lambda abstraction. Prototypes: A typical individual may be represen...
