Abstract

Syllable frequency effect plays an important role in finding evidence supporting the hypothesis, incorporating syllable unit between letter and whole word level. The syllable frequency effect is defined as the inhibitory effect of words starting with high syllable frequency in lexical desition tasks. According to some studies, syllable frequency can be divided into two values. First is the type frequency which indicates the number of syllabic neighbors sharing the first syllable of a target word. Second is the token frequency which means the accumulated word frequency of the syllabic neighbors. Although type and token syllable frequency can make different effect, there is no evidence in Korean. This study conducted the meta-analyses to access whether the inhibitory syllable frequency effect could be expected by syllabic type or token frequency. The results showed that the syllabic token frequency played a critical role in the inhibitory effect in Korean syllable frequency effect and we explained the role of token and type frequency in visual word recognition model.
