Polysemy and word meaning: an account of lexical meaning for different kinds of content words (2018, background): “These results suggest that “book” polysemies are processed very differently from both homonyms and other kinds of polysemies where senses are related but distant (Klein and Murphy, 2001, Foraker and Murphy, 2012).”
The processing of familiar and novel senses of a word: Why reading Dickens is easy but reading Needham can be hard (2007, background): “The absence of a frequency effect also supports the finding that words with multiple senses are processed differently from words with multiple meanings, with clear effects of frequency bias for the latter but not the former (Duffy, Morris, & Rayner, 1988 ; Frazier & Rayner, 1990 ; Pickering & Fris”
Linguistic diversity and object naming by non-native speakers of English (2003, background): “separately in memory rather than captured in a summary representation; Klein and Murphy, 2001, 2002 ).”
Ambiguity and relatedness effects in semantic tasks: Are they due to semantic coding? (2006, unknown): “…various meanings of ambiguous words has processing implications has only recently started to attract some attention in the literature (e.g., Azuma & Van Orden, 1997; Klein & Murphy, 2001, 2002; Locker, Simpson, & Yates, 2003; Rodd, Gaskell, & Marslen-Wilson, 2002; although see Jastrzembski, 1981).”
Behavioral profiles: A corpus-based approach to cognitive semantic analysis (2009, background): “Klein and Murphy 2001, 2002 ) as does the influence of”
Making Sense of Semantic Ambiguity: Semantic Competition in Lexical Access (2002, background): “This idea that multiple senses might be expected to show a similar, but possibly reduced, ambiguity disadvantage is reinforced by recent evidence from Klein and Murphy (2001).”
Semantic diversity: A measure of semantic ambiguity based on variability in the contextual usage of words (2012, background): “Such models, developed primarily to account for homonyms with unrelated meanings (though for a similar account of polysemy, see Klein & Murphy, 2001), assume that each word is associated with a fixed number of discrete meanings, each with its own node in the network.”
Positional Artefacts Propagate Through Masked Language Model Embeddings (2020, background): “Given that the vast majority of words are polysemous (Klein and Murphy, 2001), static word embeddings cannot possibly represent a word’s changing meaning in context.”
Paper has been my ruin: Conceptual relations of polysemous senses (2002, methodology): “The basic polysemous words and the phrases that distinguished their senses were derived from our earlier work (Klein & Murphy, 2001), which verified that the phrases did indeed pick out different senses of each word.”
