Lexical ambiguity resolution is the process whereby one meaning of an ambiguous lexical item is activated over an alternative meaning. This paper introduces a preliminary model of lexical ambiguity resolution based on known cortical regions that are activated in this process, including areas of the prefrontal and temporal lobes. Through the interaction of these regions, the model is able to sim...

This allows NooJ users to perform sophisticated queries that include any of the available morphological, lexical or syntactic properties. In comparison with INTEX, NooJ uses a new technology (.NET), a new linguistic engine, and was designed with a new range of applicat...

A long running debate about the architecture of the spoken-word recognition system has centered on the locus of lexical effects on phonemic processing: does lexical knowledge influence phoneme perception through feedback, or post-perceptually in a purely feedforward system? Elman and McClelland (1988) reported that lexically-restored ambiguous phonemes influenced the perception of the following...
