"I call it lexical quality".
Against this background, we examined the additional role of early lexical quality in the prediction of reading comprehension, either directly or indirectly via word decoding or listening comprehension.
Nevertheless, the supplemented name proplets in the Mary token line have a lexical quality in that they have neither continuation nor prn values like the lexical proplets resulting from automatic word form recognition.27.
Following a longitudinal design, 566 children learning to read Dutch as L1 and 463 children learning to read Dutch as L2 in the Netherlands were tested on indicators lexical quality (LQ) in kindergarten (speech decoding, morphological knowledge and vocabulary); word decoding and listening comprehension in first grade; and then reading comprehension in second grade.
We interpret these results in light of a model that emphasizes retrieval interference and the quality of lexical representations as key determinants of successful comprehension.
The important role of oral vocabulary, especially the depth aspect, in reading comprehension, as highlighted in the above-mentioned studies, is compatible with the theoretical postulations that comprehension may be linked to the semantic side or the quality of lexical representations (Perfetti, 1999; Perfetti & Hart, 2001).
To bridge between species, a combination of lexical matching and so-called Entity-Quality (EQ) statements or logical definitions were used to bridge between species (9).
However, while both vowel quality and stress can separately contribute to lexical recognition [ 16], there is evidence that vowel quality information can be exploited earlier than stress information (e.g., vowel duration, pitch height, and amplitude) due to coarticulation [ 16- 19].
Although the use of lexical methods in the second produces high-quality alignments [ 40- 43], the validity of the resulting lexical mappings is not guaranteed [ 44].
