Do transposed-letter effects occur across lexeme boundaries?
2006
A masked priming lexical decision experiment was conducted to examine whether or not assignment of letter position in a word can be influenced by lexeme boundaries. The experiment was run in Basque, which is a strongly agglutinating language with a high proportion of inflected and compound words. Nonword primes were created by transposing two nonadjacent letters that crossed or did not cross morphological boundaries. Specifically, we compared morphologically complex prime-target pairs (e.g., arbigide-ARGIBIDE) with orthographic controls (e.g., arkipide-ARGIBIDE; note that ARGIBIDE is a compound of ARGI + BIDE) and noncompound pairs (e.g., ortakila--ORKATILA) with orthographic controls (e.g.…
Italian Amateur Pop-Rock Musicians on Facebook: Mixed Methods and New Findings in Music Making Research
2017
This chapter investigates how and why amateur musicians use social networking sites, employing a mixed-methods approach. Attention is focused on four big Italian Facebook communities of pop-rock musicians: drums, bass, guitar, and keyboard players (overall, 2,101 active users), analyzing the relational and textual data extracted from the web. The chapter analyzes the network structures emerging from the interactions among the users. It also identifies and maps the main areas of discussion (sound shaping, studio recording, marketplace, musical references, computer production, and relations) and the latent semantic dimension characterizing Facebook users’ activities, through social network an…
Gaze position reveals impaired attentional shift during visual word recognition in dysfluent readers
2014
Effects reflecting serial within-word processing are frequently found in pseudo- and non-word recognition tasks not only among fluent, but especially among dyslexic readers. However, the time course and locus of these serial within-word processing effects in the cognitive hierarchy (i.e., orthographic, phonological, lexical) have remained elusive. We studied whether a subject’s eye movements during a lexical decision task would provide information about the temporal dynamics of serial within-word processing. We assumed that if there is serial within-word processing proceeding from left to right, items with informative beginnings would attract the gaze position and (micro-)saccadic eye movem…
How is Visual Recognition Entrained by Auditory Background Rhythms?
2014
AbstractRecent studies have reported that the oscillations of auditory attention entrained by a background rhythmic sequence can influence performance in visual recognition tasks. We have designed an experimental paradigm in which a visual item (either a bisyllabic word or a familiar face) is displayed on screen in two consecutive parts while a musical rhythm is played in the background. Depending on the timing conditions, the first or the second part of the item could be presented either in-synchrony or out-of-synchrony with the beats of the auditory rhythm. In a first series of experiments, participants performed a lexical decision task on bisyllabic 5-letter strings. Results show that wh…
La lexicalisation des noms de marque en tchèque et en français : étude contrastive
2019
Brand names and product names represent an important category of the lexicon of any language and can be studied from different points of view. In our text, we will focus on the problems of the lexicalization of certain brand and product names. The aim of our article is to show the degree of lexicalization of the foreign brand and product names in comparison with the brand and product names of national origin. At the same time we also want to analyze their motivation and their registration in Czech dictionaries.
La sémantique des termes de dégustation peut-elle être autre chose qu'une sémantique expérientielle et expérimentale ?
2018
International audience; [Objectifs et problématique] La question au centre du chapitre est celle de savoir quel(s) cadre(s) sémantique(s) théorique(s) est / sont le(s) mieux à même de rendre justice aux contraintes génériques qui pèsent sur les terminologies sensorielles – à commencer, ici, par la terminologie œnologique. Il s’agit en effet de tenir compte de deux aspects particuliers : d’une part la dimension expérientielle de ces termes (Dubois 2009) – où expérience doit être entendu au sens très concret de l’expérience de dégustation – et, d’autre part, la dimension éminemment subjective de ces expériences que la recherche d’une intersubjectivité partagée – comme sous-bassement définitoi…
Do Grading Gray Stimuli Help to Encode Letter Position?
2021
Numerous experiments in the past decades recurrently showed that a transposed-letter pseudoword (e.g., JUGDE) is much more wordlike than a replacement-letter control (e.g., JUPTE). Critically, there is an ongoing debate as to whether this effect arises at a perceptual level (e.g., perceptual uncertainty at assigning letter position of an array of visual objects) or at an abstract language-specific level (e.g., via a level of “open bigrams” between the letter and word levels). Here, we designed an experiment to test the limits of perceptual accounts of letter position coding. The stimuli in a lexical decision task were presented either with a homogeneous letter intensity or with a graded gra…
