Paradigmatic Relations Interact During the Production of Complex Words: Evidence From Variable Plurals in Dutch.

Frontiers in psychology·2021

Reading inflectional word forms is influenced by similar words. Incorrect spellings are processed faster if they align with other forms of the same verb or related verbs, suggesting analogical effects in language processing.

Area of Science:

  • Psycholinguistics
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Computational Linguistics

Background:

  • Word production is influenced by similar words in the mental lexicon.
  • Previous research focused on isolated word production, not contextual reading.
  • The role of analogical sets in reading inflectional word forms remains underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how analogical sets of formally similar words affect the reading of inflectional word forms in context.
  • To examine both intraparadigmatic (within-verb) and interparadigmatic (across-verb) effects.

Main Methods:

  • Five experiments were conducted with Dutch speakers.
  • The self-paced reading technique was employed to measure reading times.
  • Stimuli included correctly and incorrectly spelled inflectional word forms within linguistic contexts.

Main Results:

  • Incorrectly spelled suffixes that align with other forms of the same verb (intraparadigmatic) caused less reading delay.
  • Formally similar words with different stems (interparadigmatic) also influenced the reading of incorrect suffixal allomorphs.
  • These findings indicate analogical effects impact word reading in context.

Conclusions:

  • Reading inflectional word forms in context is sensitive to analogical sets of formally similar words.
  • Both online processing and storage of analogical forms may contribute to these observed effects.
  • The study highlights the interconnectedness of word production and reading through analogical mechanisms.
