Wiki Version:
Word frequency effects have long served as an empirical and theoretical test bed for theories of language processing. Recently, Contextual Diversity (CD) has been proposed as a better metric of retrieval processes than word frequency. Motivated by these findings, we sketch an active account of lexical access during sentence processing: language users store statistics about contextualized lexical representations and use lexical-contextual relations to both construct context and predict words given the context. In support of this hypothesis, we demonstrate that language users store contextualized word representations and that CD effects on reading time attenuate as discourse context is constructed.
