Due to the uniqueness of Chinese orthographic features and the pervasiveness of compounding in modern Chinese, psycholinguistic research in the past decades has shown great interest in the visual recognition of Chinese compound words. Models of compound processing make different predictions about...

Idioms have traditionally been regarded as ‘frozen’ expressions, which are fixed in form. But recent corpus-based research has shown that idioms can occur with a range of variation (cf. Moon, 1998; Barlow, 2000; Duffley, 2013; Schröder, 2013), from lexical variation (e.g. shake in one’s...

The process of spoken word recognition has been an important topic in the field of psycholinguistics for decades. Numerous models have been created, many of which received their own computational implementation. However, large-scale simulations using these models performed on the same dataset by...
