AB  - The use of taboo words represents one of the most common and arguably universal linguistic behaviors, fulfilling a wide range of psychological and social functions. However, in the scientific literature, taboo language is poorly characterized, and how it is realized in different languages and populations remains largely unexplored. Here we provide a database of taboo words, collected from different linguistic communities (Study 1, N = 1046), along with their speaker-centered semantic characterization (Study 2, N = 455 for each of six rating dimensions), covering 13 languages and 17 countries from all five permanently inhabited continents. Our results show that, in all languages, taboo words are mainly characterized by extremely low valence and high arousal, and very low written frequency. However, a significant amount of cross-country variability in words’ tabooness and offensiveness proves the importance of community-specific sociocultural knowledge in the study of taboo language.

AB  - The present study investigates the cognitive processing of
nonsense, namely bullshit statements, in the context of the foreign
language effect (FLE). We aimed to investigate if there is an FLE
on the profundity assessment (PA) of bullshit statements and
whether it could be attributed to emotional valence (EV)? Two pilot
studies were conducted to create the necessary materials for the
experiment. In the first study, we created a database of words in
English and Serbian and collected lexical norms to control and
manipulate the statement properties. Using the word database and
the custom-made software, we created 480 bullshit and everyday
statements, which were then evaluated by EV and imageability in
the second study. The English statements were rated as more
imaginable than their Serbian equivalents (F (1, 71) = 59.111,
p<.01, η2 = .055). In the main studies (N1=96; N2=95), participants
rated the statements by profundity. Results suggest that there is no
FLE on the PA of bullshit when the evaluators are highly proficient
in their L2, but in the less proficient participants, a FLE was found
(F (1, 94) = 4.917, p<.05, η2 = .004). The FLE on the PA of bullshit
was affected by EV (F (2, 94) = 3.462, p<.05, η2 = .002).

AB  - Background: The lexical-semantic impairments at different levels of semantic processing are often observed in Mild cognitive impairment (MCI). To better understand the nature of the lexical-emantic impairment in MCI, this study included two experiments: a sensory rating task and a lexical decision task.
Subjects and Methods: Twenty individuals diagnosed with MCI were recruited as well as eighty healthy subjects to serve as a control group. For the first time, the sensory ratings of words were collected in the MCI population and compared with ratings of the same words collected from the control population.
Results: Furthermore, the MCI patients showed impaired performance related to executive functioning and preserved long-term memory-related performance. Unlike most studies that found semantic deficits, we were able to observe the highly preserved aspect of knowledge both in terms of semantic and episodic memory.
Conclusion: Also, we showed that this knowledge could be exploited in visual word recognition, proposing further use of visual lexical decision task to investigate not only sublexical but also semantic variables in the clinical population.

AB  - A few studies explored the influence of situational factors on the Emotional valence (EV) and
Arousal (A) of words. Dellatorre et al. (2019) showed that participants were less aroused by
positively valenced words under suspense, while Plahchuelo et al. (2020) recorded lower A
estimates during the COVID-19 lockdown. To test the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic,
we compared the EV and A estimates of Serbian words collected during 2018 (the 1st point)
with the new ratings collected at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 (the 2nd point) and in
the summer of 2022 (the 3rd point).
In the 1st and 2nd measurements, participants were different groups of psychology students
(N1=40, N2=42; Dage= 19, ~90% women); in the 3rd measurement, participants were
accessed via social networks (N3=100; Mage=41.7±8, 86% women). The number of words
presented to participants varied across three data collection waves (N1=2100, N2=802,
N3=882). For EV, extremes of the bipolar scale represented negative (1) and positive (7)
words. A was rated on a unipolar scale (low extreme represented words low in A).
The EV and A estimates from the 2nd and 3rd waves showed high correlations with those
collected during 2018 (the 1st and 2nd wave correlations: rEV(800)=.93; .90, p<.001;
rA(800)=.76;.70, p<.001). A new finding concerns a relationship between EV and A estimates
usually described via a quadratic or U-function. Such a relationship was recorded in the 1st
wave (r(800)=-.29, p<.001) but not during the 2nd and 3rd waves. The relationship became
nearly linear (r=-.55, p<.001) in the 2nd wave and perfectly linear in the 3rd (r=-.77, p<.001),
indicating that participants became more aroused by negative and less by positive words
(Figure 1). Since the linearity persisted after the pandemic, we hypothesized that people still
feel that situational circumstances are unfavorable, especially considering the Ukrainian
situation that began in the spring of 2022.

AB  - The foreign language effect (FLE) refers to the observed difference in evaluations of the same
material presented in the foreign language (FL) as opposed to the native language (NL).
Previous research focused on the FLE in the context of meaningful material. The present study
investigates the cognitive processing of nonsense, namely bullshit statements. We aimed to
create bullshit and everyday statements in Serbian and English, which differ by emotional
valence (EV) but are matched on various features, and to investigate whether it would be
possible to match these statements for the imageability of their content. For that purpose, we
conducted two studies on samples of Serbian native speakers (N1 = 91, N2 = 93). The first study
aimed to select words for the final statements and collect lexical norms to control and
manipulate the statement properties. We extracted a group of English words from the existing
database, along with their familiarity, EV, and imageability ratings, and collected familiarity
ratings from Serbian native speakers. The words were translated into Serbian and rated for EV
and imageability. Based on these ratings, we created our database of the words and their
translational equivalents familiar to Serbian speakers and matched them for EV. However,
Serbian words were slightly more imaginable than their English equivalents (t(699) = 9.024, p
< .01, d = .341). The second study aimed to evaluate the statements as a whole. Using our
database of translational equivalents and the custom-made software, we created 480 statements.
Bullshit and everyday statements were based on the same randomly selected sample of either
negative, neutral, or positive words matched for other relevant lexical-semantic features.
Participants rated the statements for EV and imageability. As intended, the statements differed
by EV (F(2, 71) = 1053.09, p < .01, η2 = .904). Nevertheless, the everyday statements were
evaluated as more imaginable than the bullshit statements (F(1, 71) = 235.201, p < .01, η2 =
.385), and the statements in English were more imaginable that their Serbian equivalents (F(1,
71) = 59.111, p < .01, η2 = .055). The results show that the statements in the FL are rated as
more imaginable than their NL translations, even though the constituting words were rated as
less imaginable when presented in FL. The observed difference could result from the weaker
foreign language entrenchment in the semantic network.

AB  - This article presents the ENglish Reading Online (ENRO) project that offers data on English reading and listening comprehension from 7,338 university-level advanced learners and native speakers of English representing 19 countries. The database also includes estimates of reading rate and seven component skills of English, including vocabulary, spelling, and grammar, as well as rich demographic and language background data. We first demonstrate high reliability for ENRO tests and their convergent validity with existing meta-analyses. We then provide a bird's-eye view of first (L1) and second (L2) language comparisons and examine the relative role of various predictors of reading and listening comprehension and reading speed. Across analyses, we found substantially more overlap than differences between L1 and L2 speakers, suggesting that English reading proficiency is best considered across a continuum of skill, ability, and experiences spanning L1 and L2 speakers alike. We end by providing pointers for how researchers can mine ENRO data for future studies.

AB  - In this study, we collected affective ratings of emotional valence and arousal for 882 Serbian words and compared their values at three points in time: before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (2018), during the COVID-19 lockdown (2020) and after the government measures were abandoned (2022). Although valence ratings were more stable than arousal ratings, we did not observe a significant change in either valence or arousal ratings across the time points. A more detailed look into the data revealed the change in arousal that was different across the valence values. Our analyses demonstrated that, upon the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, emotionally negative words elicited higher arousal ratings, whereas emotionally positive words elicited lower arousal ratings. It revealed that our participants became more sensitive to the negative content and less sensitive to the positive content. We hypothesized that this pattern could be linked to reduced resilience and consequently could represent a mental health risk.

AB  - In this paper, we demonstrate the effects of Information Theory measures on the processing of
polysemous nouns and reveal that the sensitivity to multiple related senses can be learned from
the linguistic context. We collected large-scale data and applied a correlation design to show
that an increase in sense uncertainty (or sense diversity) is followed by a faster visual lexical
decision. The facilitatory effect of sense uncertainty was revealed by the predictive power of
entropy, followed by the additional analysis, which revealed that both the number of senses
and the balance of sense probabilities affected processing. For the first time, the balance of
sense probabilities was described via redundancy to demonstrate the effect of the numerical
description of the balance of sense probabilities. Finally, we crossed distribution semantics and
discrimination learning to show that polysemy effects can arise as a consequence of the
principles of error-driven learning.

AB  - Our principal idea behind this special issue was to highlight the importance of connecting the classic psycho-lexical approaches in personality psychology with emerging tendencies in natural language processing. Hence our "target contributing field" was initially planned as multidisciplinary, hoping that psychologists, linguists, and researchers from bordering fields would help us picture a map of the area more clearly, and to understand the potential and obstacles for field development. To provide a more compelling rationale and hopefully a clearer view of the topics in this Frontiers issue, we opted for a bibliometric approach, more specifically thematic mapping. For additional information on the procedure, we point the readers to the materials available on our OSF project page (https://osf.io/zvkag/). Nine papers are published in this issue, with contributions from 41 co-authors. The articles are authored by three to nine co-authors per paper, with one single-authored article. Authors' affiliations comprise sixteen research institutions from Australia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Korea, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Serbia, and the United States of America. The proportion of international authorship is 33%, suggesting that one-third of the papers are produced in international collaborations. Six articles are original research papers, one an opinion article, one a method paper, and one a brief report. This overview suggests that this Frontiers issue may be considered as an international effort, offering diverse perspectives on the issues connecting personality and language. Our editorial team is especially honored by attracting the attention of esteemed authors in linguistics, psychology, and information science, making this effort even more valuable.While it is a subtle and delicate task to summarize the current contributions conceptually, we take the liberty to make a brief comment on the concepts covered in this issue, as we see it presently. Two papers are firmly rooted in the long-standing tradition of lexical research in personality, though both seem to cross, challenge, or redefine the current research practices in the field. A paper by Volungevičiene et al. (2022) explores the social effects (a seldomly investigated descriptor category) in a specific language and cultural context. An opinion piece (Saucier, 2022) by one of the leading experts in the field is an overview of the results and methodological practices in the psycho-lexical tradition, and simultaneously an outlook into its future. The psycho-lexical tradition is, through its methods and concepts, present in the paper by Fischer et al., (2022) however, this paper extends the values-related research to autobiographical narratives.Similarly, Brauer et al. ( 2022) explore the concept of playfulness in natural language, using a reliable but perhaps so far sparsely used automated language analysis paradigm; this is a prime example of using NLP procedures to gain advanced knowledge of a concept. Spitzley et al. ( 2022) use the same procedure (LIWC) along with a SPLICE measurement technique to explore the diversity of language styles and their relations to the Big Five personality traits. The use of state-of-the-art analytic procedures is revisited in a paper by Dai et al., (2022) relating natural language use in a specific setting with the HEXACO model of personality. Genkova et al. (2022) focus on language and culture as landmarks of a multi-cultural and multi-language area such as Eastern Europe, validating the constructs developed in Western culture, in a current and valuable etic-study. Calić et al. (2022) venture further into language-related communication, and beyond it, by exploring the paralinguistic cues in a sample of adults with moderate intellectual disabilities. Jang et al. (2022) propose a study protocol on the relations of the Five-Factor Model of personality traits (assessed through NLP) and psychological distress.Consistent with the authorship, the topical structure of our thematic issue is diverse. Opting to describe it using bibliometrics again, we chose the bibliographic coupling technique (Aria & Cuccurullo, 2017;Moral-Muñoz et al., 2020;Van Eck & Waltman, 2014, whereby the documents' similarity was estimated using the degree of their references overlap Three thematic clusters, defined by authors' keywords, emerged in our collection. The first one is marked broadly as "language and personality"; the other two are "natural language processing" and "personality prediction". While we believe that they conveniently account for the wide range of our topics, what particularly interested us is how these topical patterns correspond with the conceptual structure of the field, as the field and its structure were before our first call for contributions was dispatched.The thematic mapping procedure enables the (tentative) topic allocation into one of four quadrants based on the combined scores on cluster density (standing for topic development) and cluster centrality (standing for topic relevance.) The quadrants are labeled as "niche themes" (high density, low relevance), "motor themes" (both scores high), "emerging or declining themes" (both scores low), and "basic themes" (low density, high relevance).The 2021 map of the personality-language field suggests well-populated "niche" and "basic" categories, with a multi-topic (but mostly NLP and machine learning-oriented) cluster almost at the center. Although the motor themes quadrant is scarcely populated, two clusters are bordering on it: a predominantly NLP-themed one and a second, containing terms typical of individual differences and foreign language learning.The projection of our 2023 themes to the 2021 conceptual map, shows that the broad "languagepersonality" cluster is located between the "niche" and "motor" quadrants. We believe that such a result may be in favor of the emerging relevance of this stream of research; we believe that the studies that are underway will be able to help increase it. Natural language processing is embedded within the "basic" topics, somewhat unexpectedly surrounded by "core" personality psychology concepts. This may suggest that a methodological shift towards advanced NLP techniques has to be reckoned with in personality studies. Personality prediction is located between the niche and emerging themes, suggesting that the topic "density", a.k.a. the number of studies within the research line, would be welcome, in order to define the personality prediction conceptual status better.Personality and language, as meta-concepts, have complex and nuanced meanings that complement and inform one another. These papers comprise a diversity of topics, concepts, and research methods, all related to personality constructs but striving to push forward the boundaries of understanding personality through language and vice versa. Such a diversity points to the interest and enthusiasm of the authors in multidisciplinary settings to continue exploring these and related concepts. We hope that this Frontiers issue has encouraged the researchers to delve.

AB  - In behavioral, cognitive, and social sciences, reaction time measures are an important source of information. However, analyses on reaction time data are affected by researchers’ analytical choices and the order in which these choices are applied. The results of a systematic literature review, presented in this paper, revealed that the justification for and order in which analytical choices are conducted are rarely reported, leading to difficulty in reproducing results and interpreting mixed findings. To address this methodological shortcoming, we created a checklist on reporting reaction time pre-processing to make these decisions more explicit, improve transparency, and thus, promote best practices within the field. The importance of the pre-processing checklist was additionally supported by an expert consensus survey and a multiverse analysis. Consequently, we appeal for maximal transparency on all methods applied and offer a checklist to improve replicability and reproducibility of studies that use reaction time measures.

AB  - The embodiment theories relate the representation of the word's meaning to the simulation of
the previous sensory-motor experience with an object denoted by that word (Barsalou, 1999).
Numerous research revealed the processing advantage of the words more grounded in sensory-
motor experience (Conell & Lynott, 2012; Filipović Đurđević et al., 2016). Keeping up with the
new trends in psycholinguistic research (Lynott et al., 2020; Lynott & Connell, 2013; Filipović
Đurđević et al., 2016; Myklashevsky, 2018; Speed & Majid, 2017), we collected the sensory-
motor strength norms for 372 Croatian words. Additionally, we explored the latent space of the
sensory-motor ratings to investigate the relations between the sensory and motor dimensions.
Thirty-five students from the Faculty of Philosophy, The University of Zagreb, rated 320 nouns
and 52 verbs on 11 five-point scales. Six scales were related to sensory experience (vision,
hearing, smell, taste, touch and interoception), and five were related to motor experience
(head without mouth, hand and arm, foot/torso, mouth/throat). On each scale, participants
rated the extent of the actual sensory-motor experience with an object denoted by the word,
as well as the possibility of such an experience. Then we applied the principal component
analysis (PCA) with Varimax (orthogonal) rotation to explore the latent structure of the sensory-
motor word space separately for average values of the possible and the actual experience.
The words in the set were rated as concrete (M=3.97, SD=.94), easily imagined
(M=3.99, SD=.93), and familiar (M=4.78, SD=.49). The PCA revealed that sensory-motor
variables based on possible experience ratings, concreteness, imageability and familiarity
grouped into four factors, explaining 75.8% of the variance. The first component correlated
positively with concreteness, imageability, visual, tactile and motor hand experience and
negatively with interoception. The second factor correlated positively with gustatory and
olfactory sensory strength and motor throat experience. The third factor included motor
experience with the torso, feet and legs. The last factor included auditory strength, motor
experience related to the head (but not mouth) and familiarity (Table 1). Similar results were
recorded for actual sensory-motor experience ratings, where PCA stabilized with four factors
solution, explaining 77.1% of the variance (Table 2). The variable loadings were the same for
the second and third factors. The difference from the first PCA analysis is that the interoceptive
strength moved to the fourth factor with auditory strength, motor experience related to the
head (but not mouth) and familiarity.
These results follow previous research and theoretical assumptions. The pattern of extracted
components reflects the anatomical and physiological grouping of sensations and motor
experience. Thus, words high in concreteness are easily imagined, easily experienced by vision
and touch, and denote objects manipulated easily by hand. Concepts experienced auditorily
represent highly familiar words and are related to motor experience with the head (excluding
the movement of mouth or throat). Concepts easily olfactory/gustatory experienced are related
to the movement of the mouth and throat, the moves related to chewing. Finally, concepts
related to the movement of the torso are related to the movement of the legs, which is
anatomically plausible.

AB  - Ambiguous words vary on a continuum between words with multiple very similar senses
(metonymy; e.g. chicken – animal or meat of that animal) and multiple unrelated and
dissimilar meanings (homonymy; e.g. bank – institution or beach). The semantic
similarity effect of of senses/meanings was shown to be facilitatory in visual lexical
decision task (VLDT; Yurchenko et al., 2020), which is best explained by the distributed
processing models where a word representation is seen as distributed in the pattern of
activation of basic units representing its different features. The more similar word
senses are, the more basic units they share, leading to faster activation and recognition
in VLDT (Rodd, 2020). Parallel to this is the view of embodied cognition models that see
prior sensorimotor (SM) experience with an object as the basis of a word representation
(Barsalou, 1999). However, these models do not account for the fact that different word
meanings/word senses can have different SM representations (e.g. chicken as an animal
can be heard, while meat can not). We will name this phenomenon sensorimotor
ambiguity. Different senses/meanings can be more or less similar in sensorimotor
aspect. Sensorimotor (SM) similarity of different word senses/meanings is in positive
relationship with semantic similarity (Anđelić & Filipović Đurđević, 2023), which suggests
that SM information reflects semantic information. Our goal was to examine if SM
similarity is an important factor for online word processing by examining its effect on
reaction latencies. Analogous to semantic similarity, we expected it to be facilitatory.
Participants (N = 103) took part in a VLDT with ambiguous nouns (N = 95). To ensure
variability in predictor variable, we included both homonyms and polysemous nouns
(metaphorical and metonymical). SM similarity ratings were calculated as average SM
similarity between all sense/meaning pairs of one word (Anđelić & Filipović Đurđević,
2023). Pearson correlation between SM similarity and reaction times in VLDT was not
significant, opposite to our hypothesis. Although these results suggest that SM
information does not play an important role in activation of the word meaning, this is in
conflict to embodied cognition models that suggest simulation of previous SM
experience occurs during word recognition. On the other hand, it is possible that the SM
effect is too small in magnitude to be recorded in this task, since SM information is
postulated as only a subset of basic units whose activation patterns carry information
about a word's meaning.

AB  - Polysemous words have multiple related senses and represent one of the most
widespread phenomena in language (Rodd et al., 2004). When presented in isolation in
a word recognition task (e.g. visual lexical decision task), such words are typically
processed faster than unambiguous words due to sense relatedness facilitating the
activation of all senses. However, when presenting a word in a task that demands
activation of one particular sense, or within a context that primes one of the senses, the
processing becomes slower (Armstrong & Plaut, 2016), as a restriction to one sense
occurs, leading to competition between senses. This increase in processing time
depends on sense probability (dominance effect). Priming the most probable
(dominant) sense leads to a smaller processing lag, compared to priming the less
probable (subordinate) sense. We hypothesise that this effect will not depend solely on
the dominance status of the primed sense but on the full sense probability distribution
described by entropy (Filipović Đurđević & Kostić, 2021). If a polysemous word is
presented within a neutral context, we expect a facilitatory entropy effect as if it were
presented in isolation. Priming the dominant sense was expected to annul the entropy
effect, as low competition occurs. Priming the subordinate sense was expected to lead
to an inversion of the entropy effect.
To test the cross between dominance and entropy effects we presented each of the 102
Serbian polysemous nouns in three sentences. One where the context was neutral
regarding any of the senses, one sentence priming the dominant sense, and one
sentence priming one of the subordinate senses. These 306 sentences were split into
three lists using a Latin square design, such that each participant saw all 102 words, but
the exact condition varied between participants. In addition, we included 60 filler
sentences, with comprehension questions to keep participants’ attention on reading.
Sentences were presented in the moving window self-paced reading task to 196
participants. Mixed-effect regression revealed that priming dominant senses led to
slower processing compared to neutral (ꞵ = -.07, S.E. = .02, df = .03, t = -2.64, p = .008,
baseline: dominant priming condition). No significant differences were found between
the dominant and subordinate priming conditions (ꞵ = .04, S.E. = .02, df = .03, t = -1.67, p
= .095), although the trend suggests our hypotheses regarding the dominance effect
were correct. Neither the entropy effect nor the interaction between the dominance
priming condition and entropy were significant.
Our results partially support our hypotheses. Priming a particular sense did lead to
slower processing of polysemous words, but differences between probabilities of the
primed senses did not clearly point to a larger slowing down of processing for
subordinate senses. No entropy effects were significant, opening further questions on
in-context processing of polysemous words.

AB  - PDP models of lexical ambiguity (Rodd, 2018) see the word
meaning as distributed in the pattern of activation of basic units, the
patterns being more similar in the case of related senses of the
polysemous words (paper), than in the case of unrelated meanings
of homonyms (bank). In parallel, embodied cognition models
(Barsalou, 1999) see prior sensorimotor (SM) experience as the
basis of representation. We combined the two model groups to test
the hypothesis that SM information could serve as basic units.
Participants rated the possibility of SM experience for individual
senses/meanings of ambiguous words and the semantic similarity
of sense/meaning pairs. We observed both higher semantic
similarity ratings and higher similarity of SM experience ratings in
the case of polysemous words. However, the estimated similarity of
SM ratings was not predictive of visual lexical decision task
latencies, suggesting the need for more refined measures. Our
results are the first to show that semantic similarity of
senses/meanings of ambiguous words is reflected in the similarity
of SM experience with objects denoted by them, suggesting that
traces of SM experiences could serve as the basic units
hypothesised by PDP models.

AB  - It is often observed that switching between languages induces a
processing cost. We investigated whether switching between two
alphabets engenders an analogous cost. We used Serbian as the.
testbed language as it can be written in two alphabets – Cyrillic and
Roman. We presented 271 participants with a mixed-alphabet
visual lexical decision task (VLD). All letter stings could be
pronounced in two ways (bivalent). Half were interpretable as words
in Roman (PETAK /petak/ meaning Friday, but meaningless in
Cyrillic /retak/), and half were interpretable as words in Cyrillic
(CAJAM /sajam/ meaning fair but meaningless in Roman/tsajam/).
Prior to the mixed alphabet VLD, participants encountered an alphabet induction phase with instructions printed in either Roman
or Cyrillic alphabet and a single-alphabet VLD. The (global)
phonological ambiguity effect (Feldman & Turvey, 1983), i.e. the
processing disadvantage for phonologically bivalent stimuli was
observed for both words and pseudowords. In addition, for words,
we observed a significant effect of local alphabet context and it was
marginally modulated by the global alphabet context. We conclude
by drawing parallels between code switching in bilingualism and
bialphabetism.

AB  - In this study, we compared affective ratings of emotional valence and arousal for 882 Serbian words at three points in time: before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (2018), during the COVID-19 lockdown (2020), and after the government measures were abandoned (2022). We did not observe a significant change in average valence or arousal ratings across time points. A more detailed look into the data revealed the change in arousal that was different across the valence values. An increase in their linear correlations and a decrease in the nonlinearity of the GAMM smooth demonstrated that, upon the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, emotionally negative words elicited higher arousal ratings, whereas emotionally positive words elicited lower arousal ratings. It revealed that our participants became more sensitive to the negative content and less sensitive to the positive content. Our results add to the findings, which showed that the relationship between emotional valence and arousal is a function of contextual factors, which primarily influence the arousal of words.

AB  - According to parallel distributed processing models, the mental representation of a word is
distributed in the pattern of activation of basic units that represent its different features. In the
case of different but related senses of polysemous words (e.g., head as part of the body and
head as chief), the hypothesized activation patterns are similar. However, in the case of
unrelated meanings of ambiguous words (homonyms), the hypothesized patterns are
completely different (e.g., bank as an institution and bank as a river bank). In parallel, embodied
cognition models see prior sensorimotor experience with an object as what constitutes a
representation of the concept denoting the object. The aim of this research was to consider
whether these two groups of models could be connected by considering sensorimotor
information as basic units whose activation patterns carry information about meaning.
Participants estimated the possibility of sensorimotor experience for individual
senses/meanings of ambiguous words (e.g., river bank; N = 282). That way we collected
sensorimotor norms on twelve sensorimotor scales (e.g., To what extent can ___ be
(1)seen/(2)heard/(3)touched etc.). In order to address the research question, the norms were
validated in the following two ways. First, we tested the difference in the mean similarity of
sensorimotor experience between related (polysemic) senses and unrelated meanings
(homonyms). The expected difference was observed: sensorimotor experiences were more
similar for related senses (U = 1161.5, p < .001). To validate the norms the second way, we
collected participant ratings of the semantic similarity of sense/meaning pairs. This similarity
measure was found to be positively related to sensorimotor meaning similarity (r = .495, p <
.001), supporting the hypotheses. Globally, these results suggest that there is a partial mapping
of the semantic similarity continuum (the degree of separation of basic units) onto the
sensorimotor similarity continuum and that it makes sense to consider sensorimotor
information as a special type of basic unit that carries information about meaning. This research
has produced useful resources for future research (sensorimotor norms, semantic similarity
ratings) and pointed out the connection between two groups of models that, in a different but,
as it turns out, compatible way, try to answer the same question: how the meaning of words is
mentally represented.

AB  - During the last two years, we witnessed the coronavirus pandemic and its impact over the
mental health (e.g. Damnjanović et al., 2020; Rudroff et al., 2020). Previous research showed
that emotional valence (EV) and arousal (A) ratings change under suspense (Delatorre et al.,
2019), while Planchuelo et al. (2020) recorded lower A estimates during the COVID-19
lockdown. Having this in mind, we assumed that isolation due to quarantine would change how
we emotionally experience words and that the EV and A estimates from post COVID-19 period
should be similar to those collected in 2018. To answer this hypothesis, we compared the EV
and A estimates collected during 2018 (the first wave), with the new ratings collected at the
beginning of the pandemic in 2020 (the second wave) and in the summer of 2022 (the third
wave). In the first and second wave, participants were psychology students (N1 = 40, N2 = 42;
Dage = 19, ~90% women); in the third wave, participants were accessed via social networks (N3
= 100; Mage= 41.7±8, 86% women). The number of words presented to participants varied
across three data collection waves (N1 = 2100, N2 =8 02, N3 = 882). For EV, extremes of the
bipolar scale represented negative (1) and positive (7) words. Arousal was rated on a unipolar
scale, where low extreme represented words low in arousal and high extreme highly arousing
words. The middle point (4) represented neutral words in both scales. The EV and A estimates
from the second and third waves showed high correlations with those collected during 2018
(the first and second wave correlations: rEV(800) = .93; .90, p < .001; rA(800) = .76; .70, p <
.001). The EV is a more stable indicator of the emotional experience of words, compared to
the A, which was in accordance with previous normative studies. A new finding concerns a
relationship between EV and A estimates usually described via a quadratic or U-function
(Bradley & Lang, 1999), indicating that negative and positive words excite us more, while we
are indifferent to neutral words. Such a relationship was recorded in the first wave (r(800) = -
.29, p < .001) but not during the second and third waves. The relationship became nearly linear
(r = - .55, p < .001) in the second wave and perfectly linear in the third (r = -.77, p<.001). Our
results revealed that our participants became more sensitive to the negative content and less
sensitive to the positive content. This pattern could be linked to reduced resilience and may
represent a mental health risk.

AB  - The majority of words can denote multiple related objects/phenomena, i.e. can have multiple
related senses – so called polysemes. Understanding this linguistic phenomenon is therefore of
high importance both in terms of linguistic inquiries and in terms of psychological studies of
cognitive mechanisms. Previous research demonstrated that, in addition to the number of
senses, processing is also influenced by the balance of sense probabilities (Filipović Đurđević &
Kostić, 2021). However, the resources for the study of lexical ambiguity are very sparce (e.g. a
database of 150 polysemous Serbian nouns; Filipović Đurđević & Kostić, 2017). Additionally,
most of these effects were demonstrated either within a single part of speech category
(typically nouns) or for ambiguous words with senses that span across various part of speech
(e.g. a record / to record; as pointed out by Eddington & Tokowicz, 2015). Therefore, the goal of
this paper is to present a new open database containing raw and categorized native speakers’
semantic intuitions for 308 Serbian polysemous nouns (100), verbs (100), adjectives (108) and
multiple quantifications representing an array of the level of ambiguity indices.
For each of the polysemous words, we collected semantic intuitions of native speakers by using
the total meaning metric (Azuma, 1997). We then categorized the collected descriptions by
using three strategies: a) relying solely on semantic intuition, b) relying solely on dictionary
descriptions, and c) combining semantic intuitions and dictionary descriptions. Within each
strategy, we also monitored and investigated the effect of the coder (the researcher performing
the categorization) in order to explore the robustness of each approach. We then generated
the sense probability distributions for each word by counting the response frequencies across
created categories. In order to quantify the level of ambiguity, we calculated the number of
senses, redundancy, and entropy of the obtained sense probability distributions (Shannon,
1948; Filipović Đurđević & Kostić, 2017). Each measure, within each approach was also
corrected for the effects of idiosyncratic senses, reflexive verbs etc. This database will be
openly available and will provide a useful resource in ambiguity research. In future, this
database should be expanded with measures from word embeddings (i.e. BERT; Wiedemann et
al., 2019) that separate different word senses. This will allow for quantifying the level of

numbers and sense probabilities, and would allow for abandoning the counting-of-senses

future, and therefore allowing comparison to existing measures may allow another validation

abstract = "The majority of words can denote multiple related objects/phenomena, i.e. can have multiple
related senses – so called polysemes. Understanding this linguistic phenomenon is therefore of
high importance both in terms of linguistic inquiries and in terms of psychological studies of
cognitive mechanisms. Previous research demonstrated that, in addition to the number of
senses, processing is also influenced by the balance of sense probabilities (Filipović Đurđević &
Kostić, 2021). However, the resources for the study of lexical ambiguity are very sparce (e.g. a
database of 150 polysemous Serbian nouns; Filipović Đurđević & Kostić, 2017). Additionally,
most of these effects were demonstrated either within a single part of speech category
(typically nouns) or for ambiguous words with senses that span across various part of speech
(e.g. a record / to record; as pointed out by Eddington & Tokowicz, 2015). Therefore, the goal of
this paper is to present a new open database containing raw and categorized native speakers’
semantic intuitions for 308 Serbian polysemous nouns (100), verbs (100), adjectives (108) and
multiple quantifications representing an array of the level of ambiguity indices.
For each of the polysemous words, we collected semantic intuitions of native speakers by using
the total meaning metric (Azuma, 1997). We then categorized the collected descriptions by
using three strategies: a) relying solely on semantic intuition, b) relying solely on dictionary
descriptions, and c) combining semantic intuitions and dictionary descriptions. Within each
strategy, we also monitored and investigated the effect of the coder (the researcher performing
the categorization) in order to explore the robustness of each approach. We then generated
the sense probability distributions for each word by counting the response frequencies across
created categories. In order to quantify the level of ambiguity, we calculated the number of
senses, redundancy, and entropy of the obtained sense probability distributions (Shannon,
1948; Filipović Đurđević & Kostić, 2017). Each measure, within each approach was also
corrected for the effects of idiosyncratic senses, reflexive verbs etc. This database will be
openly available and will provide a useful resource in ambiguity research. In future, this
database should be expanded with measures from word embeddings (i.e. BERT; Wiedemann et
al., 2019) that separate different word senses. This will allow for quantifying the level of
ambiguity on large-scale samples of text that may reveal a more precise estimation of sense
numbers and sense probabilities, and would allow for abandoning the counting-of-senses
approach (as suggested by Filipović Đurđević et al., 2009). Adding this to the database in the
future, and therefore allowing comparison to existing measures may allow another validation

AB  - In behavioral, cognitive, and social sciences, reaction time measures are an important source of information. However, analyses on reaction time data are affected by researchers’ analytical choices and the order in which these choices are applied. The results of a systematic literature review, presented in this paper, revealed that the justification for and order in which analytical choices are conducted are rarely reported, leading to difficulty in reproducing results and interpreting mixed findings. To address this methodological shortcoming, we created a checklist on reporting reaction time pre-processing to make these decisions more explicit, improve transparency, and thus, promote best practices within the field. The importance of the pre-processing checklist was additionally supported by an expert consensus survey and a multiverse analysis. Consequently, we appeal for maximal transparency on all methods applied and offer a checklist to improve replicability and reproducibility of studies that use reaction time measures.

AB  - Entropy is a measure of sense uncertainty within polysemous words. The more senses a word has and the more balanced their probabilities are, the sense uncertainty is higher, i.e. the word is more ambiguous (Filipović Đurđević & Kostić, 2016). Previous research revealed the facilitatory effect of entropy on processing latency in visual lexical decision task (VLDT; Filipović Đurđević & Kostić, 2021; Mišić & Filipović Đurđević, 2021). This is frequently attributed to simultaneous activation of multiple related senses. In this paper we test the underlying assumption that if we were to restrict semantic activation to a single sense the advantage of widespread activation of related senses (i.e. the facilitatory effect of entropy) would disappear. One way to achieve this is by putting polysemous words in contexts constructed to evoke specific senses. Our prediction is that the entropy effect would disappear in sentences targeting specific senses, but prevail in ones that manage to maintain semantic ambiguity. A total of 86 participants took part in the self-paced reading task. Each of 102 polysemous words was presented in three sentences - to evoke the dominant, one of the subordinate senses, and in a neutral context that did not elicit any specific sense, mimicking the VLDT situation. Sentences were presented using the Latin square design between participants and words. Linear mixed effect regression analysis revealed that, compared to the neutral context, target words were processed more slowly in the context pertaining to the dominant sense (b = -.070, SE = .018, t(7327.3) = 3.817, p<.001), and even more slowly in the context which evoked the subordinate sense (b = -.111, SE = .019, t(7327.5) = 6.232, p<.001). This was in accordance with our prediction that the context would reduce the level of ambiguity and cancel out the facilitatory effect of the related senses. This was further corroborated in the absence of the entropy effect on the processing of the target word in the sense-evoking contexts. Furthermore, we observed an interaction which suggested the reversal of the entropy effect in subordinate sense context as compared to the dominant sense context (b = .043, SE = .019, t(7327.4) = 2.338, p = .019), which is in accordance with the models regarding word ambiguity processing in context (Armstrong & Plaut, 2016). However, the effect of entropy was also absent in the neutral context asking for further elaboration of our understanding of processing of polysemous words.

AB  - Words with multiple related senses (polysemous words) are recognised faster compared to the words with multiple unrelated meanings (homonymous words) and unambiguous words (Rodd et al., 2002). The measure of ambiguity in polysemous words was the number of senses (NoS), derived from the meanings/senses provided by native speakers, as well as the information theory measures, entropy (sense uncertainty) and redundancy (the balance of meaning probabilities). These measures were significant predictors of reaction time in visual lexical decision task (VLDT) experiments (Filipović Đurđević & Kostić, 2021). In spite of differences, multiple models agree in predicting the observed facilitation. Research in Serbian revealed these effects in noun, adjective, and verb processing (Anđelić, Ilić, Mišić, & Filipović Đurđević, 2021; Filipović Đurđević & Kostić, 2008; 2021; Mišić & Filipović Đurđević, 2021). The aim of this research was to conceptually replicate and further generalise the NoS effect on processing of nouns. Also, the goal was to collect native speakers' intuitions of the senses for the novel set of Serbian nouns and thus expand the existing database (Filipović Đurđević & Kostić, 2016). A novel set of 100 polysemous nouns was selected from the dictionary and then included in the normative study, in which 36 participants were instructed to write all of the senses that they could recall. The senses obtained from the participants were categorised according to the dictionary and the NoS along with the entropy and redundancy of senses was calculated. The same nouns were presented in a visual lexical decision task to a novel group of 87 native speakers. The results indicated that polysemous nouns with higher number of senses were processed faster (β =-.02 , CI = -.03 – -.00, t =-2.78, p = .005), which is in accordance with our hypothesis. The results regarding the information theory measures revealed that the effects of entropy (H) and redundancy (T) indicated a non-significant trend in the predicted direction (H: β =-.00 , CI [-.02 – .01], t =-.597 p = .557, T: β =.01 , CI [-.00 – .03], t =1.66, p = .097). These findings concur with the previous findings from the noun, adjective and verb experiments and the SSD model (Armstrong & Plaut, 2016) and together they converge to the conclusion that the effect of number of senses in the processing of polysemous words facilitates recognition in the visual lexical decision.

The results regarding the information theory measures revealed that the effects of entropy (H) and redundancy (T) indicated a non-significant trend in the predicted direction (H: β =-.00 , CI [-.02 – .01], t =-.597 p = .557, T: β =.01 , CI [-.00 – .03], t =1.66, p = .097). These findings concur with the previous findings from the noun, adjective and verb experiments and the SSD model (Armstrong & Plaut, 2016) and together they converge to the conclusion that the effect of number of senses in the processing of polysemous words facilitates recognition in the visual lexical decision.",

AB  - Discrimination learning (DL), a simple learning mechanism has proven to be a powerful model for describing language processing. In this paper we contribute to describing the semantic phenomena in the light of DL. We do so by continuing to focus on polysemy advantage and homonymy disadvantage. Whereas the former is most dominantly explained by a higher activation through the shared semantic core of multiple related senses, the latter seems to be a consequence of sharing activation across unrelated semantic features of multiple meanings. Filipović Đurđević and Kostić (2021) crossed DL and distributional semantics to demonstrate that the relatedness of polysemous senses could be operationalised as the overlap at the level of the outcomes. Our aim was to test whether this activation pattern can arise in endstate of learning when we simulate learning of polysemous, homonymous, and unambiguous words using a small scale model over which we have full control. We used a toy lexicon containing two entries from each of the three groups. Cues were bigrams made from nine-letter strings randomly generated from five letters, to introduce cue competition. To simulate all aspects of ambiguity, each word had four outcomes. Each unambiguous word and each homonym meaning had four unique outcomes, and each sense of a polyseme had one unique outcome, one shared by only one other sense, and two outcomes shared by all senses. The results revealed that cue-outcome weights were the highest for the polysemous words, thus corroborating the findings of Filpović-Đurđević and Kostić (2021). However, no difference in cue-outcome weights was observed between homonyms and unambiguous words. This simple simulation continues to inform future studies on how polysemous senses could be defined when corpus data is used. The distributional hypothesis (Harris, 1954) states that similar words, or in this case senses, appear in similar contexts. Our simulation suggests that outcomes should be defined in a way where homonym meanings do not share any outcomes, and polysemous words do. However, further simulations on toy corpora are needed in order to more precisely understand the supposed structure of distributed meanings/senses.

AB  - driven learning framework (Filipović Đurđević & Kostić, 2021; Mišić & Filipović Đurđević,
2021). Filpović Đurđević and Kostić (2021) introduced a hypothesis that lexical ambiguity could
be operationalized via partial overlap of multiple cues/outcomes related to meaning. Their
demonstration relied on distributional semantics, namely the co-occurrence of words in the
context. However, although relying on natural language samples is a powerful approach, it also
introduces many complexities that potentially obscure the learning mechanics behind the
ambiguity effects. Therefore, our aim was to perform ambiguity learning simulations from more
of a theoretical standpoint by employing the toy model approach.
Theory informed our data generation process in two ways. First, error-driven learning
(Rescorla & Wagner, 1972) offered a mechanism for learning ambiguous words and the
importance of cue competition for learning to occur (Hoppe et al., 2022). Second, we relied on
psycholinguistic theory for descriptions of ambiguity, namely the polysemy (multiple related
senses) and homonymy (multiple unrelated meanings) distinction (Rodd et al., 2002). In addition
to sense/meaning relatedness, we also paid attention to their probabilities (Filipović Đurđević &
Kostić, 2017). We manipulated the type of lexical ambiguity (unambiguous words, polysemes,
homonyms), the balance of sense/meaning probabilities (balanced, unbalanced), and the level
of cue competition (low, medium, high).
Data were generated in the following way. We modelled a total of six words: two
unambiguous words, a balanced and an unbalanced polyseme, and a balanced and an
unbalanced homonym. Each word was represented by one outcome. Cues were created
separately for each sense/meaning and were constructed as an equal-length string of arbitrary
elements. The ambiguity type was manipulated via the cue overlap. Unambiguous words were
predicted by a single cue set. Homonyms were predicted by three distinct sets of cues, each
representing one meaning. Polysemous words were also predicted by three sets of cues,
however, in addition to some unique cues for each of the senses, sets had some overlap among
themselves in order to represent the sense relatedness. Each of the artificial words (outcomes)
and its cues was presented to the network an equal amount of times. Balance of the
sense/meanings frequency distribution was manipulated through the frequency of the
presentation of each cue-outcome pairing. Finally, to introduce more cue competition, we
randomly sampled a number of existing cues and appended them to other meanings/senses
strings. By varying the number of cues appended, we varied the cue competition intensity. The
data structure scheme is presented in Figure 1.
We then compared simulations on two different measures – the activation of the
outcomes, and the learnability (a quantitative description of learning curves). When cue
competition was present, activation decreased in the following order: balanced homonyms,
unbalanced homonyms, unbalanced polysemes, and unbalanced polysemes, with unambiguous
words, activated the least. This pattern, although expected to be inversely proportionate, was
directly proportionate to the RTs in lexical decision tasks (Filipović Đurđević, 2019; Filipović
Đurđević & Kostić, 2021). Learnability measure revealed that homonyms were learned the best,
followed by polysemes, and then unambiguous words. Nevertheless, the existing relationship
suggests that possible modifications of the generated data might lead to a better insight into
how learning leads to the presence of ambiguity in language.
