Description

In lexvar.xls (format Excel 5.0) several numerical values for lexical and sublexical variables for 626 Italian simple nouns are reported: Age of acquisition, familiarity, imageability, concreteness, adult written frequency, child written frequency, adult spoken frequency, neighborhood size, bigram frequency, length in syllables and in letters. Three non-numerical fields are also included: lexical stress, word initial phoneme (classified as voiced vs. voiceless, and for manner of articulation). The mean word naming time for each item (see Barca, Burani & Arduino, 2002) is also reported (RT). The English translation for each Italian word is also reported.
