| Abstract | The bi-alphabetic nature of the Serbo-Croatian writing system allows unequivocal examination of phonemic similarity unconfounded with graphemic similarity. The Roman and Cyrillic alphabets are largely independent but map onto the same sounds. A lower-case context written in one alphabet bears no visual similarity to an upper-case target written in the other alphabet. One naming experiment and one lexical decision experiment (N = 52 Yugoslavian high school seniors) investigated phonemic priming of high-frequency words and pseudowords with word and pseudoword contexts. For naming, targets that were phonemically similar to the preceding context were named significantly faster than were phonemically dissimilar targets. This result was indifferent to the lexicality of the contexts and targets. |
