Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The purpose of this study was to develop a database of Welsh words and their English equivalents giving subjectively rated measures for four variables (age of aquisition; frequency; imagery; concreteness) which are commonly used in research into the process of reading, word recognition and production.

Main Topics:

Welsh words and English equivalents rated for four variables: age of acquisition; subjective frequency or familiarity; concreteness; imagery. Welsh words were rated by bilinguals (in Welsh and English). English words were rated in some cases by bilinguals (Welsh and English), and in some cases by monolinguals (English). Standard Measures For all variables a seven point rating scale was used. Age of acquisition and frequency used unique instructions (provided with database). For imagery ratings the instructions from Paivio, Yuille and Maidgan (1968) were used and for concreteness the instructions from Spreen and Schulz (1966) were used.
