2021 Testing the storage of prosody-induced phonetic detail via auditory lexical decision: A case study of noun/verb homophones The Mental Lexicon 16:1, pp. 133–164 | Article
This article reports the results of an auditory lexical decision task, testing the processing of phonetic detail of English noun/verb conversion pairs. The article builds on recent findings showing that the frequent occurrence in certain prosodic environments may lead to the storage of… read more
2021 Relative entropy effects on the processing of spoken Romanian verbs The Mental Lexicon 16:1, pp. 23–48 | Article
A multitude of studies show the relevance of both inflectional paradigms (word form frequency distributions, i.e., inflectional entropy) and inflectional classes (whole class frequency distributions) for visual lexical processing. Their interplay has also been proven significant, measured as the… read more
2021 Chapter 4. Why we need to investigate casual speech to truly understand language production, processing and the mental lexicon Polylogues on The Mental Lexicon: An exploration of fundamental issues and directions, Libben, Gary, Gonia Jarema and Victor Kuperman (eds.), pp. 77–108 | Chapter
2016 Why we need to investigate casual speech to truly understand language production, processing and the mental lexicon New Questions for the Next Decade, Jarema, Gonia, Gary Libben and Victor Kuperman (eds.), pp. 375–400 | Article
The majority of studies addressing psycholinguistic questions focus on speech produced and processed in a careful, laboratory speech style. This ‘careful’ speech is very different from the speech that listeners encounter in casual conversations. This article argues that research on casual speech… read more
2015 The integration of phonological and phonetic processing: A matter of sound judgment Phonological and Phonetic Considerations of Lexical Processing, Jarema, Gonia and Gary Libben (eds.), pp. 1–14 | Article
2011 The effects of N-gram probabilistic measures on the recognition and production of four-word sequences The Mental Lexicon 6:2, pp. 302–324 | Article
The present study investigates the processing and production of four-word sequences such as I don’t really know, at the age of, and I think it’s the. Specifically, we investigate the influence of families of probabilistic measures such as unigram, bigram, trigram, and quadgram frequency of… read more
