Abstract
Summary Subjects are asked to associate freely a response word to a pair of stimuli words. According to our hypothesis, such associated response words are more frequently words of the same category as the stimuli words when the latter are drawn from the same semantic category, than when they are drawn from two different semantic categories. The subjects were 130 students ; they were presented with 96 pairs of one or other of these types. A comparison is made by means of four statistical analyses of the frequencies of the different sub-groups of the associative responses to the pairs. Each confirms the hypothesis. It is proposed to apply a logical rnodel derived from structural linguistics to the process of " cate-gorial associative influence " exerted by a pair of words.
