Abstract

The present study aimed to test the universality and language-specificity in visual recognition of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean words. Sino-Korean words (or Kanji Jukugo in Japanese, or Ci in Chinese) shared by the three languages were used as stimuli to remove semantic influences as much as possible. Materials and procedures were the same across the languages except that stimuli were presented in Hangul, Hanzi, or Kanji according to participants' native language. Word frequency effects were found significant in lexical decision and naming in all three languages. This result indicates that lexical factors are important in word recognition despite of many differences between writing systems. However, two findings related to different scripts should be noted. First, naming times were the shortest for Korean Hangul, but lexical decision times were the longest for the same script. Second, the word frequency effect was the smallest for naming in Korean, but the largest for lexical decision in Korean. These results support Park, Yi, Abe, and Liu (2008) that although there must be script-independent lexical processing at the macro level, script-dependent processing is also remarkable at the micro level.
