Dear Linda

> thank you, Stephen,  for the URLS (btw-I didn't ask about N400 but it's appreciated).
You're welcome (and I included N400 because it was a key word in one
of the phrases for which you were looking for a paraphrase).

Re Wikipedia: yes, I agree that the results are not always
authoritative, but they (i) always provide further search words to
narrow down the incredible number of hits and (ii) often useful
references. You can also try looking for "'masked priming'
definition", which is what i often try.

> Lastly, you are also correct  in that the specific terms that I queried have nothing to do with corpus or computational linguistics. They have everything to do, however,  with  recent research in psycholinguistics dealing with frequency, collocations, and discourse level priming experiments; i.e. terms that are corpus linguistic in nature.
Yes, agreed with regard to the terms, still sceptical with regard to
the paraphrases. ;-) By the way, the best introductions to
psycholinguistics I know and have used in classes (older editions,
though) are:

- <http://www.amazon.com/dp/0495099694>;
- <http://www.amazon.com/dp/1841693820> (brand new edition in 2008).

Best,
STG
