Fixation on non-arbitrary words ...
Haslett, David. - : Open Science Framework, 2022
Abstract: Words with similar meanings tend to sound dissimilar, which facilitates learning and communication (e.g., Gasser, 2004). For example, the distinction between "branch" and "twig" is easier to acquire and maintain than it would be if they sounded similar. But in Experiment 1, we found that non-arbitrariness (when a word sounds similar to another word with a similar meaning) can facilitate word meaning access. For example, people were quicker to decide that "evade", compared to “elude”, is similar in meaning to "dodge", even though "evade" and "elude" are roughly equally similar in meaning to "dodge" according to distributional semantic models. The critical difference is that "evade" is similar in both form and meaning to "avoid" (which is also similar in meaning to "dodge"), whereas "elude" has no such counterpart. We aim to provide further evidence that non-arbitrary relationships, like the overlapping forms and meanings of "evade" and "avoid", help people process less familiar words. ...
