一系列的。在实验中，作者调查了为同音异义词命名lavelet（例如，/n Lambdan/）是特定字频率的函数（即，频率）或累积同音频率的函数（即，nun和none的频率之和）。特定词的出现频率对图片命名的延迟有影响，而同音字的累积频率对图片命名的延迟无影响。该结果以2种语言（英语和中文）获得。在翻译任务中也得到了类似的发现，双语者用视觉呈现的西班牙语单词产生英语名称。对照实验排除了这些结果是一个人工制品的拼写或发音因素，或视觉识别。研究结果反对同音异义词具有共同的词形表征的假设，而支持同音异义词具有完全独立的表征的模型。
In a series. of experiments, the authors investigated whether naming latencies for homophones (e.g., /n Lambdan/) are a function of specific-word frequency (i.e., the frequency of nun) or a function of cumulative-homophone frequency (i.e., the sum of the frequencies of nun and none). Specific-word but not cumulative-homophone frequency affected picture-naming latencies. This result was obtained in 2 languages (English and Chinese). An analogous finding was obtained in a translation task, where bilingual speakers produced the English names of visually presented Spanish words. Control experiments ruled out that these results are an artifact of orthographic or articulatory factors, or of visual recognition. The results argue against the hypothesis that homophones share a common word-form representation, and support instead a model in which homophones have fully independent representations.
