Abstract

The role of semantic transparency in the recognition and learning of Sino-Korean words was investigated with four experiments. It was found that semantically transparent words were easier to recognize and learn than semantically opaque ones, suggesting lexical representation of Sino-Korean words based on morpho-syllabic units.
