고빈도 음절 이웃을 가진 단어가 저빈도 음절 이웃을 가진 단어에 비해 어휘 판단 시 실험 참가자의 반응이 더 느려진다. 이러한 억제적 효과를 음절 빈도 효과라고 부른다. 음절 빈도 효과는 시각적 단어 재인 모형의 발전에 중요한 역할을 차지하고 있다. 단어 재인 모형의 타당성을 검증하는데 음절 빈도 효과의 위치는 매우 중요함에도 불구하고 한국어를 이용한 관련 연구의 양은 다른 언어에 비해 매우 적다. 본 논문은 시각적 단어 재인 모형에서 음절 빈도 효과의 역할과 음절 빈도 효과를 다룬 한국어 연구를 소개하였다. 더욱이 본 논문은 한국어가 명확한 음절 경계와 자소 대 음소 대응을 갖고 있음에도 음절 빈도 효과가 명확하지 않은 이유와 기존 모형이 설명할 수 없었던 한국어 단어의 몇 가지 특징을 설명하였다.
Participants who ask for conducting lexical decisions tend to respond more slowly when the presented word have higher frequency syllabic neighbors rather than lower frequency syllabic neighbors. The inhibitory effect is called as the syllable frequency effect. The syllable frequency effect has played an important role in enhancing visual word recognition models. Although the position of the syllable frequency effect is very important in verifying the validity of visual word recognition model, amount of studies using Korean is very low as compared by other languages. The present article explained the role of syllable frequency effect in visual word recognition model and introduced Korean studies dealing with the syllable frequency effect. Moreover, the present paper explained some reasons of why the syllable frequency effect in Korean were not clear even though Korean has clear syllabic boundaries and grapheme to phoneme matching, and the several features of Korean word that the previous model could not account.
