The main focus of research on wordlikeness has been on how serial processing strategies affect perception of similarity and, ultimately, the global network of associative relations among words in the mental lexicon. Comparatively little effort has been put so far, however, into an analysis of the reverse relationship: namely, how global organisation effects influence the speakers' perception of word similarity and of words' internal structure. In this paper, we explore the relationship between the two dimensions of wordlikeness (the "syntagmatic" and the "paradigmatic" one), to suggest that the same set of principles of memory organisation can account for both dimensions.
Gran parte dei lavori sulla nozione di "familiarità lessicale" ha analizzato come le strategie di elaborazione seriale influenzino la percezione della similarità all'interno della rete di relazioni formali nel lessico mentale. Poca attenzione è stata tuttavia dedicata finora a come queste relazioni globali influenzino la percezione della similarità lessicale. L'articolo esplora questa interconnessione tra relazioni sintagmatiche e paradigmatiche, attribuendola a un insieme omogeneo di principi per l'organizzazione della memoria seriale.

Abstract
The main focus of research on wordlikeness has been on how serial processing strategies affect perception of similarity and, ultimately, the global network of associative relations among words in the mental lexicon. Comparatively little effort has been put so far, however, into an analysis of the reverse relationship: namely, how global organisation effects influence the speakers' perception of word similarity and of words' internal structure. In this paper, we explore the relationship between the two dimensions of wordlikeness (the "syntagmatic" and the "paradigmatic" one), to suggest that the same set of principles of memory organisation can account for both dimensions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
