Resumen

Several papers have shown that polysemy has a facilitatory effect on word recognition. However, other papers have not confirmed this finding. For this reason, doubts exist as to whether these effects are specific for polysemy or are caused by other lexical variables related to polysemy. In this paper we ran three lexical decision experiments aimed at testing if the effects of polysemy are independent from the frequency and imageability of words. Results indicate that polysemy interacts with frequency, since effects are greatest in low frequency words and it is independent of imageability. On the other hand, these effects are especially strong when polysemy was measured by normative studies rather than obtained as the number of dictionary meanings.
