dc.description.abstract | In an examination of the time course of activation of phonological and semantic information in processing kanji
script, two lexical decision experiments were conducted with native readers of Japanese. Kanji targets were preceded
at short (85-msec) and long (150-msec) intervals by homophonic, semantically related, or unrelated primes
presented in kanji (Experiment 1) or by hiragana transcriptions of the kanji primes (Experiment 2). When primes
were in kanji, semantic relatedness facilitated kanji target recognition at both intervals but homophonic relatedness
did not. When primes were in hiragana, kanji target recognition was facilitated by homophonic relatedness at both
intervals and by semantic relatedness only at the longer interval. The absence of homophonic priming of kanji targets
by kanji primes challenges the universal phonology principle’s claim that phonology is central to accessing meaning
from print. | en |
