Download2021-04-01
This thesis investigates the relationship between levels of shyness, verbal irony use, and the presence and influence of associated stereotypes. Although recent studies of personality and figurative language have addressed varying research questions, there has been little direct exploration of...

The present experiment investigated the role of vocal affect in spoken word recognition. Participants performed an auditory lexical decision task with stimuli articulated by a professional male actor with different acoustic realizations of vocal affect (Angry, Neutral, and Joyful). In addition,...

How acoustic distinctiveness affects spoken word recognition: A pilot study
2018-09-01
In the present study, I propose an acoustically-based alternative to phonological neighborhood density. Phonological neighborhood density has been used in many studies as an approximate quantification of lexical competition during spoken word recognition. However, phonological neighborhood...

Modes of Metaphor and Me: The Role Shyness Plays in the Interpretation of Visual and Verbal Metaphors
Download2021-01-01

Pseudowords are used as stimuli in many psycholinguistic experiments yet they, remain largely under-researched. To better understand the cognitive processing of pseudowords, we analysed the pseudoword responses in the Massive Auditory Lexical Decision megastudy data set. Linguistic...
