Abstract :
The effects of two important lexical variables, word frequency and word length, are investigated for Korean word recognition. The processing of Korean words did not show similar effects as one of many other orthographies. First, a subtype of Korean orthography showed no word frequency effects. Second, one syllable words are processed more slowly than two syllable words. The possible confounding variable, the effect of morphemes, was suggested.
