Exploring the semantic organization of Bangla words in the mental lexicon

We conduct different approaches to find out the access strategies and mental representation of semantic word using cross-modal experiment of priming in Bangla Language. We indicate that the words are semantically related triggering the priming effect. We observed that the word recognition time in Bangla language is strongly affected by semantically similar words. Also, it is noted that the average semantically related prime-target word pairs have intermediate priming and semantically unintelligible prime-target word pairs have either less or no priming. Our result appears to ensure existing word recognition and interactive methods where semantic trigger may regulate the processing of words.
