The duration of linguistic events is an important factor to understand the role of some aspectual, semantic and pragmatic phenomena of language, for instance, Aspectual Coercion. Verbs are usually inserted in temporal contexts that are compatible with their duration [the girl danced for three minutes]. Coercion occurs when there is an aspectual/temporal mismatch between the verb and its c…
In Psycholinguistics, studies on lexical access seek to explain how words are activated in memory during the use of language. A related topic is the processing of embedded words (Vroomen & De Gelder, 1997; words within words for Van Alphen & Van Berkum, 2010), which helps to test the efficiency of lexical access models, such as cohort (Marslen-Wilson, 1987) and TRACE (McClelland & Elman, …
Psycholinguistics has plenty of evidences on how we understand words. For instance, there are studies on how do we read compound words, on word processing in bilinguals, on frequency effects on isolated or contextualized words, among others. However, as far as we know, there is no psycholinguistic study about Lexical Expansion. According to Kriauiknien & Sangailait (2016), a new word can …
