Sentence examples for word regularity from inspiring English sources

Signals reporting pathway control ought not to reflect appreciably the effect of word regularity, since both regular and irregular words are thought to generate activations along both pathways obligatorily (Coltheart et al. 2001).

Also, regions reflecting pathway control should show minimal effects of word regularity, consistent with the dual route postulate that both regular and irregular words are processed along both pathways essentially obligatorily (Coltheart et al. 2001).

Word regularity determines whether the outputs of the 2 routes converge (regular words) or not (irregular words), a distinction that cannot be made until the "full reading process" occurs, that is, after route computation (Taylor et al. 2013).

The phonological route concatenates grapheme-to-phoneme mappings in a serial manner (Forster and Davis 1991) that is independent of word frequency and word regularity.

The lexical route, on the other hand, involves accessing whole-word representations of stimuli that have been learned through repeated exposure (e.g., Visser and Besner 2001), thus resolving more quickly for words that are more frequently encountered (Frederiksen and Kroll 1976), and without regard to word regularity (Coltheart et al. 2001).

The model accounts for the primary behavioral effects reported by Balota et al. (2000) (a task-dependent lexicality effect and an impact of word regularity on the task reversal of the word frequency effect), while also constraining novel predictions regarding how control-related brain regions may interact with reading-related brain regions, as revealed by fMRI.

My husband's former father-in-law, a truly horrid little man who uses the "N" word with regularity and a forceful commitment to every nasty thing it represents, pulled the lever a few hours ago, in a dingy, struggling town in West Virginia…for Barack Obama.

Fractal dimension measures the complexity of the EEG signal, in other words, the regularity and divergence of the signal [ 50, 51].

As Fig. 2 shows, the two generalisations, 'phenotype' and 'genotype', are, however, not unrelated; theory is an abstraction from various descriptions, or, in other words, observable regularities across languages (see also Caffarel et al. 2004: Ch. 1; Matthiessen 2007b, 2013a).

Finally, it takes description to be a generalisation of the linguistic characteristics of text instances or, in other words, the regularities of the uses of linguistic forms in discourse.

The words included 96 of each of 4 combinations of regularity (regular or irregular) × frequency (high or low) and length (short or long).
