Abstract: Abstract This study aims to evaluate effects of word-internal variables on reading disyllabic Chinese words by manipulating (a) morphological complexity, defined as the number of morphemes and (b) structural complexity, defined as whether the two… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0268915
Abstract: When naming a sequence of pictures of the same semantic category (e.g., furniture), response latencies systematically increase with each named category member. This cumulative semantic interference effect has become a popular tool to investigate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00200
Abstract: This paper examines the possible relationship between proposed social determinants of morphological ‘complexity’ and how this contributes to linguistic diversity, specifically via the typological nature of the sign languages of deaf communities. We sketch how… read more here.
