Abstract

Cross-linguistic differences in computation of phonological codes were explored in three experiments. Hanja words―those words used in Korean and Japanese but originated from Chinese―were presented in Hangul, Kanji, and Hanzi for Korean, Japanese, and Chinese participants, respectively. In addition to this script difference, stimulus degradation effects and word frequency effects were measured in naming latencies. High-frequency words were named faster than low-frequency words, and non-degraded words were named faster than degraded words in all three languages. The within-language interaction effects of these two variables were small enough to be neglected. However, the effect sizes of these variables varied across languages: while stimulus degradation effect was smaller in Chinese than both in Korean and in Japanese, frequency effect was much smaller in Korean than both in Chinese and in Japanese. The results suggest that even though all prints appear to be processed in the same way―as the Universal Hypothesis puts it―at macro-levels, the computation of phonological codes of Hanzi/Kanji words relies more on lexical processes and that of Hangul words relies more on sub-lexical processes at micro-levels.
