A large literature on visual word recognition has examined the role of (apparent) morphological structure by comparing suffixed (such as treatment), pseudo-suffixed (pigment), and nonsuffixed (dogma) words with respect to their embeddings (treat, pig, dog). We examined the processing of these word types, as well as semantic controls, in an
Using the negated universal quantifier not every, the study investigates the interpretations of scalar implicatures, lexical presuppositions, and implicated presup- positions by Thai children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs; n = 32), compared to their typically-developing (TD) peers (n = 70) and adults (n = 40). The results provide further
We present two auditory-auditory priming experiments investigating whether decomposition effects for pseudo- related prime-target pairs like corner → CORN are restricted to early visual word recognition [10] or can also be found in auditory processing. Experiment 1 shows no difference in facilitation effects for pseudo-suffixed pairs and purely phonologically-related pairs
This paper presents new data on the semantic interaction between gradable predicates and the Thai particle kʰɯ̂n. When the particle composes with rɔ́ːn (hot) and nǎːw (cold), it describes temperature increases and decreases, respectively, in much the same way as English get hotter and get colder. However, when it composes
We present results from two auditory experiments that examine priming effects for pseudo-derived pairs of words (e.g., corner-corn), as compared to morphologically, phonologically, and semantically related pairs. Previous work shows facilitation for pseudo-derived pairs in a visual masked priming paradigm; our Experiment 1 presents the novel finding that these effects
Reference of pronouns may be constrained via lexical presuppositions, including marked F-features, implicated presuppositions, and deictic center shifting in certain languages. This paper explores the acquisition of personal reference terms in Thai, a language that has a highly complex personal reference system. The participants of the study were 67 typically-
Although the TIMIT acoustic-phonetic dataset was created three decades ago, it remains in wide use, with more than 20000 Google Scholar references, and more than 1000 since 2017. Despite antiquity and relatively small size, inspection of these references shows that it is still used in many research areas: speech recognition,
