Vector-space models of semantic representation from a cognitive perspective: A discussion of common misconceptions
Models that represent meaning as high-dimensional numerical vectors—such as latent

[HTML][HTML] Morphological processing in the brain: The good (inflection), the bad (derivation) and the ugly (compounding)
There is considerable behavioral evidence that morphologically complex words such as 'tax-
able'and 'kiss-es' are processed and represented combinatorially. In other words, they are …

From decomposition to distributed theories of morphological processing in reading
The morphological structure of complex words impacts how they are processed during
visual word recognition. This impact varies over the course of reading acquisition and for …

Modeling morphological priming in German with naive discriminative learning
Both localist and connectionist models, based on experimental results obtained for English
and French, assume that the degree of semantic compositionality of a morphologically …

When morphological structure overrides meaning: Evidence from German prefix and particle verbs
ABSTRACT A key question in the study of lexical processing has been whether the semantic
transparency of multimorphemic words affects processing. Previous studies of English and …

The pluralization palette: unveiling semantic clusters in English nominal pluralization through distributional semantics
E Shafaei-Bajestan, M Moradipour-Tari, P Uhrig… - Morphology, 2024 - Springer
Using distributional semantics, we show that English nominal pluralization exhibits semantic
clusters. For instance, the change in semantic space from singulars to plurals differs …

Semantic transparency is not invisibility: A computational model of perceptually-grounded conceptual combination in word processing
Previous studies found that an automatic meaning-composition process affects the
processing of morphologically complex words, and related this operation to conceptual …

A (distributional) semantic perspective on the processing of morphologically complex words
While morphemes are theoretically defined as linguistic units linking form and meaning,
semantic effects in morphological processing are not reported consistently in the literature …

Semantic transparency effects in German compounds: A large dataset and multiple-task investigation
In the present study, we provide a comprehensive analysis and a multi-dimensional dataset
of semantic transparency measures for 1810 German compound words. Compound words …

Semantic properties of English nominal pluralization: Insights from word embeddings
E Shafaei-Bajestan, M Moradipour-Tari, P Uhrig… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Semantic differentiation of nominal pluralization is grammaticalized in many languages. For
example, plural markers may only be relevant for human nouns. English does not appear to …
