The Effects of Polysemy for Japanese Katakana Words.
Hino, Yasushi; Lupker, Stephen J.; Sears, Chris R.; Ogawa, Taeko
Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, v10 n3-5 p395-424 Oct 1998
Observes in a lexical decision task that polysemy effects were identical for high- and low-frequency katakana words; and that in a naming task, although no word frequency effect was observed, there was a significant polysemy effect which was identical for high- and low-frequency words. Discusses implications about the loci of such polysemy and frequency effects. (SR)
