serbianLex {ndl}

Serbian lexicon with 1187 prime-target pairs.

Description

The 1187 prime-target pairs and their lexical properties used in the simulation study of Experiment 1 of Baayen et al. (2011).

Usage

data(serbianLex)

Format

A data frame with 1187 observations on the following 14 variables:

Target

A factor specifying the target noun form

Prime

A factor specifying the prime noun form

PrimeLemma

A factor specifying the lemma of the prime

TargetLemma

A factor specifying the target lemma

Length

A numeric vector with the length in letters of the target

WeightedRE

A numeric vector with the weighted relative entropy of the prime and target inflectional paradigms

NormLevenshteinDist

A numeric vector with the normalized Levenshtein distance of prime and target forms

TargetLemmaFreq

A numeric vector with log frequency of the target lemma

PrimeSurfFreq

A numeric vector with log frequency of the prime form

PrimeCondition

A factor with prime conditions, levels: DD, DSSD, SS

CosineSim

A numeric vector with the cosine similarity of prime and target vector space semantics

IsMasc

A vector of logicals, TRUE if the noun is masculine.

TargetGender

A factor with the gender of the target, levels: f, m, and n

TargetCase

A factor specifying the case of the target noun, levels: acc, dat, nom

MeanLogObsRT

Mean log-transformed observed reaction time

# calculate the meaning activations for all unique word forms
