Psycholinguistics: A Survey of Theory and Research Problems
PROBLEMSphers and others who had always exhibited some interest in language developed a renewed concern for the field.But their various lines of approach to the problem of language were in some respects remarkably disparate.The descriptive linguists discussing phonemes, the communications engineers discussing binary digits, and the psychologist discussing linguistic responses seemed most of the time to be engaged in wholly separate conversations.…

Acquisition of bi-transitive sentences: Pre-linguistic determinants of language acquisition
The present study concerned the acquisition of double-object, bi-transitive sentences which can be expressed in either BASIC (S-V-DO- to -IO) or TRANSFORM (S-V-IO-DO) constructions. Three-, four-, and five-year-old subjects were tested on comprehension and production of these two alternative forms, investigating the distribution of Basic and Transform sentences in acquisition, and also the effect of prototypicality of the described event on perfo…

From Yang and Yin to and or but
Ancient Chinese metaphysics, as recorded some 4000 years ago in I ching , the Book of changes , expresses three fundamental characteristics of human thinking: (1) bipolar organization of the dimensions of cognitions; (2) attribution of positive polarity to the Yang pole and negative to the Yin ; (3) parallelism in the orientation of the dimensions in terms of underlying Positiveness/Negativeness. In the present paper, eight postulates governing t…
A Cross-Cultural Study of the Affective Meanings of Color
Color data from the Osgood et al. 23-culture semantic differential study of affective meanings reveal cross-cultural similarities in feelings about colors. The concept RED is affectively quite salient. BLACK and GREY are bad, and WHITE, BLUE, and GREEN are good. YELLOW, WHITE, and GREY are weak; RED and BLACK are strong. BLACK and GREY are passive; RED is active. The color component Brightness, as determined by comparing data on WHITE, GREY, and …

Exploration in Semantic Space: A Personal Diary 1
Following a brief bit of personal history about the origins of the author's interest in the measurement of meaning ( M ), three models of M —spatial analogue, factor analytic measurement, and underlying behavior theoretic—are described and integrated. Extension of the semantic differential technique (SD), which was developed during the 1950s and applied to many samples of American English speakers and to some 25 language‐culture communities aroun…

Hesitation Phenomena in Spontaneous English Speech
This paper reports an exploratory investigation of hesitation phenomena in spontaneously spoken English. Following a brief review of the literature bearing on such phenomena, a quantitative study of filled and unfilled pauses, repeats, and false starts in the speech of some twelve participants in a conference is described. Analysis in terms of both individual differences and linguistic distribution is made, and some psycholinguistic implications …
The nature and measurement of meaning
The language process within an individual may be viewed as a more or less continuous interaction between two parallel systems of behavioral organization: sequences of central events ("ideas") and sequences of instrumental skills, vocalic, gestural, or orthographic, which constitute the communicative product.A communicator vocalizes, "It looks like rain today; I'd better not wash the car."This output is a sequence of skilled movements, complicated…

Cognitive Dynamics in the Conduct of Human Affairs
The various models of cognitive consistency are in agreement that changes in belief follow from the psychological stress created by inconsistencies and that the magnitude of stress toward modification increases with the degree of inconsistency. The model of congruity, employing the measurement technique of the semantic differential, differs from the other models in its more detailed specifications of the cognitive interaction occurring within the…

Motivation and language behavior: A content analysis of suicide notes
WHENEVER a person produces a message, whether it be conversation, an ordinary letter to a relative, or a suicide note, he employs a complex set of encoding habits. It seems reasonable to assume that these language habits are organized in much the same way as the habits underlying nonlanguage behavior and that the general principles of learning and performance therefore apply equivalently in both cases. This paper is concerned with the effects of …
