Scheer, Tobias; Mathy, Fabien – Cognitive Science, 2021
The input to phonological reasoning are alternations, that is, variations in the pronunciation of related words, such as in "electri[k]" - "electri[s]-ity." But phonologists cannot agree what counts as a relevant alternation: the issue is highly contentious despite a research record of over 50 years. We believe that the…

Peter Hendrix; Ching Chu Sun; Henry Brighton; Andreas Bender – Cognitive Science, 2023
Previous studies provided evidence for a connection between language processing and language change. We add to these studies with an exploration of the influence of lexical-distributional properties of words in orthographic space, semantic space, and the mapping between orthographic and semantic space on the probability of lexical extinction.…

Dufour, Sophie; Brunelliere, Angele; Frauenfelder, Ulrich H. – Cognitive Science, 2013
Although the word-frequency effect is one of the most established findings in spoken-word recognition, the precise processing locus of this effect is still a topic of debate. In this study, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to track the time course of the word-frequency effect. In addition, the neighborhood density effect, which is known to…
