2024 Finnish noun inflections and the FLH from two perspectives The Representation and Processing of Morphologically Complex Words, Buchanan, Lori and Roberto G. de Almeida (eds.), pp. 191–223 | Article
Through a consideration of the noun inflections of Finnish, we examine Butterworth’s (1983) full-listing hypothesis (FLH), that whole-word forms are stored in the mental lexicons of language learners/users. While previous studies have consistently confirmed that complex derivational… read more
2024 Perception and production of a feature correlation in Chinese characters Written Language & Literacy 27:2, pp. 153–177 | Article
How detailed is the implicit knowledge of regularities in written form? To address this question experimentally in Chinese, we examined a subtle feature correlation in which left stroke curving is obligatory in narrow arched-shaped components but not in wide ones, despite neither feature being… read more
2021 Chapter 2. Meta-megastudies Polylogues on The Mental Lexicon: An exploration of fundamental issues and directions, Libben, Gary †, Gonia Jarema and Victor Kuperman (eds.), pp. 17–44 | Chapter
2021 Areal script form patterns with Chinese characteristics Diversity in Writing Systems: Embracing multiple perspectives, Gnanadesikan, Amalia E. and Anna P. Judson (eds.), pp. 259–283 | Article
It has often been claimed that writing systems have formal grammars structurally analogous to those of spoken and signed phonology. This paper demonstrates one consequence of this analogy for Chinese script and the writing systems that it has influenced: as with phonology, areal script patterns… read more
2016 Meta-megastudies New Questions for the Next Decade, Jarema, Gonia, Gary Libben † and Victor Kuperman (eds.), pp. 329–349 | Article
Cross-linguistic data have always been of interest to mental lexicon researchers, but only now are technological developments beginning to make it possible to treat language as a random variable, in an approach we dub meta-megastudies. A meta-megastudy uses regression techniques to tease apart… read more
2012 Chinese as a natural experiment Methodological and Analytic Frontiers in Lexical Research, Libben, Gary †, Gonia Jarema and Chris Westbury (eds.), pp. 155–169 | Article
The Chinese lexicon is characterized by its typologically unique one-to-one-to-one mapping of morphemes, syllables, and orthographic characters. This architecture poses practical difficulties for the psycholinguist wanting to study lexical processing in Chinese. More seriously, seen as a natural… read more
2010 Chinese as a natural experiment Methodological and Analytic Frontiers in Lexical Research (Part I), Jarema, Gonia, Gary Libben † and Chris Westbury (eds.), pp. 421–435 | Article
The Chinese lexicon is characterized by its typologically unique one-to-one-to-one mapping of morphemes, syllables, and orthographic characters. This architecture poses practical difficulties for the psycholinguist wanting to study lexical processing in Chinese. More seriously, seen as a natural… read more
