Abstract/Summary:
The goal of the research presented in this paper is to shed light on the nature of lexical representation and access: how the lexicon develops between early childhood and adulthood; what linguistic factors are associated with lexical access, and most importantly, how the lexicon is organized. On this last point, the questions of interest are whether the lexicon is semantically organized, and if so, what semantic features drive lexical access.
