The Role Of Orthographic Syllable Frequency In The Syllable Frequency Effect: Evidence From Korean
Summary .— There have been ongoing debates as to whether the syllable frequency eff ect is dependent purely on phonological representation or is also aff ected by the orthographic representation of the syllable. In two experiments, the authors investigated the eff ect of the phonologic and orthographic frequencies on the syllable frequency eff ect by manipulating the fi rst syllable's phonologic (high vs low) and orthographic (high vs low) frequency. Analyses of variance were performed for the lexical decision latencies and error rates in two experiments. Overall, the results
of the current experiments showed eff ects of phonological syllable frequency on lexical decision latencies. Additionally, the results of the current experiments also showed the infl uence of the orthographic syllable frequency in the form of an interaction between the phonologic and orthographic frequencies. Longer latencies and higher error rates for higher phonological syllable frequency occurred only when the target word had low orthographic syllable frequency. The current study suggests that phonological syllable frequency is the primary sources of the syllable frequency eff ect while it also suggests that the orthographic representation of the syllable infl uences the syllable frequency eff ect as well.
