Resumo: In this text we discuss how polysemous and homonyms words are accessed and what is the role of context during this access. Works by Swinney (1979) and Tanenhaus et al. (1979) support the hypothesis of multiple access, for which the context acts only late in the lexical access of ambiguous words. On the other hand, Tabossi and Zardon (1993) and Simpson (1994) support the hypothesis of selective access, according to which only the sense specified by context is accessed during the reading of an ambiguous word. To check the validity of these assumptions in the access of polysemous and homonyms words, we conducted three experiments of cross-modal priming. The results corroborate the hypothesis of multiple access. Regarding the relationship between polysemy and homonymy, our findings provide evidence for the hypothesis that polysemous and homonyms words are accessed in the same way, even if there are more senses associated with polysemies diachronically.

Trabalhos clássicos como Swinney (1979) e Tanenhaus et al. (1979) defendem a hipótese do acesso múltiplo, para a qual o contexto age apenas tardiamente no acesso lexical de palavras ambíguas. Já Tabossi e Zardon (1993) e Simpson (1994) defendem a hipótese do acesso seletivo, segundo a qual apenas o sentido especificado pelo contexto é acessado na leitura de uma palavra ambígua. Para verificar a validade dessas hipóteses no acesso a palavras polissêmicas e homônimas realizamos três experimentos de cross-modal priming. Os resultados corroboram a hipótese do acesso múltiplo. No que concerne à relação entre polissemia e homonímia, nossos achados fornecem evidências para a hipótese de que palavras polissêmicas e homônimas são acessadas da mesma forma, mesmo que haja mais sentidos diacronicamente associados às polissemias.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2013-04-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/12061Letras de Hoje; Vol. 48 No. 1 (2013): Research and Teaching of Reading and Writing: Psycholinguistic Studies; 29-39Letras de Hoje; Vol. 48 Núm. 1 (2013): Pesquisa e Ensino da Leitura e da Escrita: Estudos Psicolinguísticos; 29-39Letras de Hoje; v. 48 n. 1 (2013): Pesquisa e Ensino da Leitura e da Escrita: Estudos Psicolinguísticos; 29-391984-77260101-3335reponame:Letras de Hoje (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/12061/8879do Amaral, Bruna RodriguesLima, Maria Luiza Cunhainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-08-07T14:41:42Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/12061Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/falePRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br || letrasdehoje@pucrs.br1984-77260101-3335opendoar:2013-08-07T14:41:42Letras de Hoje (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
