Pathways to semantic integration: Wordform similarity and valence accelerate novel word learning from co-occurrence regularities

2025-06-24

Abstract excerpt

<p>Learning new words and flexibly using them in novel contexts is a hallmark of human language and communication. Yet, the mechanisms through which new words are integrated into a rich mental lexicon remain relatively understudied. A large body of behavioral and computational research suggests that individuals learn new words by attending to distributional regularities in natural language. Recent work has also fo...
