Role of lexical stress in word recognition and production
No full textIn the present paper several studies are reviewed that are relevant to lexical-stress assignment. The questions asked concern the form of representation of stress and its role in the perception and identification of words in auditory and visual word recognition. The role of stress is also considered in the computation of phonology, as are the linguistic and orthographic constraints that influence its assignment during reading
Lexical stress and its interaction with frequency in word pronunciation
No full textStress assignment in reading words aloud is investigated. Three-syllable Italian words with regular or irregular stress and high or low frequencies were presented in a naming task and in a lexical decision task. With low-frequency words, naming times for regular stressed words were faster than for words with irregular stress, whereas no difference was found for high-frequency words. Instead, in the lexical decision task the interaction between stress and frequency was significant for errors but not for reaction times (RTs). Exps 4 and 5 investigated the effect of neighborhood in pronouncing words and nonwords. In Exp 6, words were presented in a delayed naming task to investigate the effects of stress and frequency on the implementation of the motor program for production. The results suggest that the production phase of the naming process might be to some extent involved in the assignment of stress
Activation and inhibition with orthographically similar words.
No full textIn 3 experiments, 91 undergraduates responded in a priming paradigm. Prime and target were orthographically related as they shared either the initial or the final letters. The experiments were based on the assumption that two orthographically similar words, separated by a short stimulus onset asynchrony, both belong to the same activated set and are therefore competing for recognition. In Exp I, the lexical status of the target was varied, and an inhibitory effect was found only when targets were words, not when they were pseudowords. An inhibitory effect was also found in Exps 2 and 3 for target words of high frequency, whereas with low-frequency target words, either a nonsignificant inhibitory effect or a facilitatory effect was found. Moreover, the effect seemed to vary in relation to the position of the letters shared by prime and target. Results are discussed in terms of an explanation according to which the prime would inhibit the word units of the activated set when these units reach a critical threshold of activation. This threshold would be reached faster by high-frequency words of the set because they start from a higher resting level. An alternative explanation consistent with the verification model is taken into account

Role of context in the comprehension of Italian ambiguous idioms.
No full textThe role of context on the comprehension of Italian ambiguous idioms (e.g., kick the bucket) is investigated.Three experiments are presented. In the first experiment fragments of idioms are completed by subjects. In Experiments 2 and 3 the time course of activation of the figurative meaning and of construction of the literal interpretation are explored with the self-paced reading paradigm. The results are discussed in view of the extant models of figurative processing
