EYE TRACKING THE INFLUENCE OF LEXICAL EMBEDDINGS IN WRITTEN WORD RECOGNITION: A FIRST INVESTIGATION
Résumé
A word containing an embedded word is supposed to be more difficult to recognize than a word without a lexical embedding because of an increased lexical confusability. However, previous studies indicated that such a lexical configuration finally benefits word recognition. The current study first aimed at replicating these findings in the visual modality by investigating the recognition of French monomorphemic nouns containing an embedded word. Second, it aimed at exploring the processing of these words with eye-tracking. Our findings confirmed that lexical embeddings were processed and that they influenced word recognition favorably. Lexical embeddings facilitated the recognition of their carrier word and refixations were away from lexical embeddings. Facilitation was likely due to processes occurring at the lexical level.
