In this article, we present a database of orthographic neighbors for words that Spanish children read during elementary education. The reference dictionary for lexical entries and frequencies (which had its origin in Martínez & García, 2004) comprises approximately 100,000 words and is the result of accumulating the words read by a sample of children from first to sixth grades. Using the criterion for orthographic neighbors described by Coltheart, Davelaar, Jonasson, and Besner (1977), we present basic statistics related to neighborhood size as a function of the positions of divergent letters, the cumulative frequency of the neighbors, and the numbers of neighbors of higher, lower, and equal frequency. We also attempt to illustrate and unravel the nature of the relationships among the variables neighborhood size, length, and frequency in the distribution of neighbors. The database described in this article is available at www.psychonomic.org/archive.
在本文中,我们展示了一个西班牙语儿童在小学教育阶段阅读的单词的正字法邻接词数据库。词汇条目和词频的参考词典(源自Martínez & García,2004年)包含约10万个单词,是一至六年级儿童样本所读单词累积的结果。我们采用Coltheart、Davelaar、Jonasson和Besner(1977年)描述的正字法邻接词标准,呈现了与邻接词数量相关的基本统计数据,这些数据是发散字母位置、邻接词累积频率以及高、低和相同频率邻接词数量的函数。我们还试图说明并揭示邻接词分布中邻接词数量、长度和频率这些变量之间关系的本质。本文所述数据库可在www.psychonomic.org/archive获取。
