The perception of homophones by university students in relation to the frequency of use of each homophone in the Greek language.
Summary:
The purpose of the present study is to examine the perception of auditorily presented heterographic homophones free from any context information, with regard to the frequency of each homophonic type as it is indicated in the statistical data of the Hellenic National Corpus (HNC). The sample of the study consisted of 72 students of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 60 of whom participated in the written form of the experimental test while the rest 12 participated orally and their answers were recorded and transcribed. The results of the test indicated that among homophonic types which belong in the same grammatical category, the spontaneous mental recall of the meaning is related to the frequency of each type. In the case of the homophones which belong in the grammatical category of nouns but also have close frequencies, the singular form types are recalled first and not those with the easiest spelling. Between homophones of different grammatical categories the one that is firstly recalled is the nominal form even if its frequency is lower depending on the data of the HNC. Also, small differences between the results of the subsamples of the written and oral form of the experimental method may indicate that the intervention of writing when answering the test affects the first recall of meaning of an auditorily presented homophone.
