Analysis of perception of incomplete words in different languages

Agenda 2020

13TH INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH SCHOOL

Psycholinguistics

Psycholinguistics is a very interesting field of science, and it is not something we could experience in our classroom.

How do we identify words? Letter by letter, from beginning to end or as one whole entity? Will we identify a word if it is incomplete?

Which factors influence our perception of words? How does it work in different languages?

To try to answer these questions, we will design and conduct an experiment, and process the results with statistical methods.

Students from different ages can apply proper skills according to their study level to contribute to the group. In addition, we can work and enjoy learning languages and cultural influences behind it in our group and ultimately present our experience to everyone in IRS2020.
