Measuring the Singaporean Mental Lexicon Through A Word Association Game
What is the first word that comes to your mind when you think of the word "shiok"? In this talk I discuss initial findings from the Small World of Singlish Words project, and showcase how a simple word association game can lead to insights into the Singaporean mental lexicon.

Dr. Cynthia Siew is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the National University of Singapore. She is a psycholinguist and cognitive scientist who uses experimental and computational methods to study cognitive structures such as the mental lexicon and semantic memory.
