“…The opposite effect is found in speech production, where words with many phonological neighbours are more rapidly and more accurately activated than words with fewer phonological neighbours (Vitevitch, 2002). These differential effects have also been found in studies with language impaired speakers (Janse, 2009;Middleton & Schwartz, 2010).…”

All words have properties linked to form, meaning and usage patterns which influence how easily they are accessed from the mental lexicon in language production, perception and comprehension. Examples of such properties are imageability, phonological and morphological complexity, word class, argument structure, frequency of use and age of acquisition. Due to linguistic and cultural variation the properties and the values associated with them differ across languages. Hence, for research as well as clinical purposes, language specific information on lexical properties is needed. To meet this need, an electronically searchable lexical database with more than 1600 Norwegian words coded for more than 12 different properties has been established. This article presents the content and structure of the database as well as the search options available in the interface. Finally, it briefly describes some of the ways in which the database can be used in research, clinical practice and teaching.
