Word length and frequency effects on text reading are highly similar in 12 alphabetic languages
Abstract
One of the most robust findings in research on eye-movement control in reading is that shorter and more frequent words are recognized faster and skipped more often than longer and less frequent words. These benchmark effects of word length and frequency are reported in all languages studied to date and inform computational models of eye-movements in reading. This paper asks whether each of these effects is similar in magnitude across languages. …
