Ospanova Dana; Kurmanbekova Zulfiya; Shagirbayeva Bakhtigul; Turarova Aisulu; Ormanova Aigul; Turgumbayeva Nursulu; Gulnara Makhazhanova; Kurmanbekova Aigul – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2025
Emotiology is a growing area of interdisciplinary research and academic discourse which focuses on the linguistic manifestation of emotions. This study employs psycholinguistic methodologies to examine the rationale behind word selection in emotional communication, integrating linguacultural, psycholinguistic, structural, and comparative analyses.…

Mikhail Vlasov; Oleg Sychev; Olga Toropchina; Irina Isaeva; Elena Zamashanskaya; David Gillespie – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
Young people use slang for identifying themselves with a particular social group, gaining social recognition and respect from that group, and expressing their emotional state. One feature of Internet slang is its active use by youth in online communication, which, under certain conditions, may cause problematic Internet use (PIU). We conducted two…

Ren, Jiaxin; Luo, Chuanwei; Yang, Yixin; Ji, Min – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
This study used an eye-tracking method to examine whether Chinese translation equivalents activated by English prime words can continue to activate their Chinese homophones. With 30 English prime words, and 60 Chinese target words as materials, the experiment used a Tobii eye-tracking device to collect data from 30 university students while…

Mazachowsky, Tessa R.; Atance, Cristina M.; Rutt, Joshua L.; Mahy, Caitlin E. V. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
The ability to project oneself forward in time and imagine a future episode, known as episodic foresight (EpF), is an important aspect of future thinking. EpF tasks often involve children choosing an item for a future episode, yet the degree to which future projection is required to succeed -- versus memory or semantic associations -- has been…

Hsiao, Yaling; Bird, Megan; Norris, Helen; Pagán, Ascensión; Nation, Kate – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Semantic diversity quantifies the similarity in the content of contexts a word has been experienced in. Four experiments investigated its effect on lexical and semantic judgments in 9- to 10-year-olds and adults. In Experiment 1, a cross-modal semantic judgment task, participants decided whether a visually presented word matched an audio…

Pagán, Ascensión; Bird, Megan; Hsiao, Yaling; Nation, Kate – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2020
Semantic diversity -- a metric that captures variations in previous contextual experience with a word -- influences children's lexical decision and reading aloud. We investigated the effects of semantic diversity and frequency on children's reading of words embedded in sentences, while eye movements were recorded. If semantic diversity and…

Maciejewski, Greg; Klepousniotou, Ekaterini – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Semantic ambiguity has been shown to slow comprehension, although it is unclear whether this ambiguity disadvantage is attributable to competition in semantic activation or difficulties in response selection. We tested the two accounts by examining semantic relatedness decisions to homonyms, or words with multiple unrelated meanings (e.g.,…

Gonzalez, Becky – Second Language Research, 2023
This study builds on prior research on second language (L2) Spanish psych verbs, which has centered on morphosyntactic properties, by examining their syntactic distribution, which relies on lexical semantic knowledge. The fact that certain forms are licensed for some verbs, but not others, is the result of an underlying lexical semantic difference…

Iliev, Rumen; Axelrod, Robert – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
We introduce a novel measure of abstractness based on the amount of information of a concept computed from its position in a semantic taxonomy. We refer to this measure as "precision". We propose two alternative ways to measure precision, one based on the path length from a concept to the root of the taxonomic tree, and another one based…

Zhang, Xiaochun – English Language Teaching, 2019
Disagreements arise on the differences of semantic processing of different ambiguous words in the perspective of psycholinguistics. This paper compares the differences of the semantic processing of different types of ambiguous words of Chinese English learners by using a multiple semantic priming experiment with short. The results demonstrate the…

Li, Meng-Feng; Lin, Wei-Chun; Chou, Tai-Li; Yang, Fu-Ling; Wu, Jei-Tun – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2015
Previous studies about the orthographic neighborhood size (NS) in Chinese have overlooked the morphological processing, and the co-variation between the character frequency and the the NS. The present study manipulated the word frequency and the NS simultaneously, with the leading character frequency controlled, to explore their influences on word…

Pexman, Penny M.; Yap, Melvin J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Most previous studies of semantic processing have examined group-level data. We investigated the possibility that there might be individual differences in semantic decision performance even among the standard undergraduate population and that such differences might provide insights into semantic processing. We analyzed the Calgary Semantic…

Xu, Joe; Taft, Marcus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
A visual lexical decision task was used to examine the interaction between base frequency (i.e., the cumulative frequencies of morphologically related forms) and semantic transparency for a list of derived words. Linear mixed effects models revealed that high base frequency facilitates the recognition of the complex word (i.e., a "base…

Selmeczy, Diana; Dobbins, Ian G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
The Remember/Know procedure, developed by Tulving (1985) to capture the distinction between the conscious correlates of episodic and semantic retrieval, has spawned considerable research and debate. However, only a handful of reports have examined the recognition content beyond this dichotomous simplification. To address this, we collected…

Vergara-Martinez, Marta; Perea, Manuel; Gomez, Pablo; Swaab, Tamara Y. – Brain and Language, 2013
The encoding of letter position is a key aspect in all recently proposed models of visual-word recognition. We analyzed the impact of lexical frequency on letter position assignment by examining the temporal dynamics of lexical activation induced by pseudowords extracted from words of different frequencies. For each word (e.g., BRIDGE), we created…
