Abstract

Synonyms and antonyms constitute a close lexical network based on semantic relations in the mental lexicon. In this paper, the lexical decision task was performed by native Korean speakers and Chinese-speaking Korean learners on synonyms, antonyms, and unrelated words. (1) Native speakers were faster and more accurate than learners, and advanced learners processed synonyms more accurately than intermediate learners. (2) All groups processed synonyms and antonyms more accurately than unrelated words, but learners showed a prime effect that differed from non-words in antonyms. (3) The frequency effect has shown only in intermediate learners. These results are explained by a connectionist model that strengthens the connections between synonyms and antonyms based on semantic relations, and it is suggested that learning system knowledge of vocabularies such as synonyms and antonyms is effective. Since learners could receive more help from synonyms than antonyms in word processing using lexical networks, it is necessary to use synonyms to present words in vocabulary teaching and should be suggested new methods or strategies to use antonyms to facilitate learning.
