Like word frequency, phonological neighborhood density is canonically considered to have a lexical locus: Inhibitory effects for words with large similarity values are assumed to result from enhanced competition with similar sounding words. However, since the measure considers phonological (i.e., sub...
Furthermore, exactly the same quantitative relation between word frequency and proficiency is found for monolinguals and three different bilingual populations (Dutch–English, French–English, and German–English). We conclude that the larger frequency effects for second-language processing than for ...
They replicated Malt et al.’s (1999) finding of a dissociation between naming and similarity using French- and Dutch-speaking monolinguals in Belgium. These groups are similar in culture and familiarity with particular types of objects. As expected their similarity judgments were highly correlated,...
We present the Chinese Lexical Database (CLD): a large-scale lexical database for simplified Chinese. The CLD provides a wealth of lexical information for
In the present study, the gender-monitoring task provided a means of assessing the interactions between gender (both semantic and grammatical) and other factors that are known to influence lexical access, in a situation that re- quired attention to the gender dimension. Through the joint use of...
Furthermore, exactly the same quantitative relation between word frequency and proficiency is found for monolinguals and three different bilingual populations (Dutch–English, French–English, and German–English). We conclude that the larger frequency effects for second-language processing than for ...

We conclude that the larger frequency effects for second-language processing than for native-...
However, they did not do so categorically–for example, the high-est percentage of irregularly inflected nonce verbs in Prasada and Pinker’sstudy was about 31%, among the group of nonce verbs that showed the highestdegree of similarity to real irregularly inflecting verbs. Also, Bybee and ...
These analyses showed that, where there were differences as a function of native language background, these did not differ between the bilingual and multilingual groups. 2.2. Self-report measures of English language use Analyses of the participant measures of: age at test, age of English ...
By gathering iconicity ratings from non-signers, the ratings cannot be influenced by folk etymology and instead provide a better measure of the visual similarity between the sign form and referent. Mechanical Turk workers and laboratory participants have been shown to perform similarly on a number ...
