A review of the behavioral and neurophysiological estimates of the time-course of compound word recognition brings to light a paradox whereby temporal activity associated with lexical variables in behavioral studies predates temporal activity of …
National character stereotypes, or beliefs about the personality characteristics of the members of a nation, present a paradox. Such stereotypes have been argued to not be grounded in the actual personality traits of members of nations, yet they are …
Prior studies of noun–noun compound word processing have provided insight into the human capacity for conceptual combination (Gagné and Shoben *Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition*, *23*(1), 71 1997; Spalding, Gagné, …
Previous research has shown that compound word recognition involves selecting a relational meaning (e.g. “box for letters” for *letterbox*) out of a set of competing relational meanings for the same compound. We conducted five experiments to …
Semantic transparency effects during compound word recognition provide critical insight into the organization of semantic knowledge and the nature of semantic processing. The past 25 years of psycholinguistic research on compound semantic …
The current study addresses a discrepancy in the psycholinguistic literature about the chronology of information processing during the visual recognition of morphologically complex words. *Form-then-meaning* accounts of complex word recognition claim …
Research on the morpho-syntax of non-native varieties of English has reported a widespread presence of mass noun pluralization such as *baggages*, *equipments* and *softwares*. In this paper we conducted a corpus linguistic study in order to provide …
Previous research has suggested that the conceptual representation of a compound is based on a relational structure linking the compound’s constituents. Existing accounts of the visual recognition of modifier–head or noun–noun compounds posit that …
In this study we explored variation in the countability of nouns in Outer Circle, Expanding Circle and lingua franca Englishes, a phenomenon which is frequently cited as a marker of Inner Circle norms in TESOL and of endonormative and emerging …
