Primes¶
- Category Retrieval Lock In
- In language, lexicalization collapses a phrase into a single token whose compositional parts become inaccessible under retrieval pressure, so a context demanding a specific property the lexicalized category obscures is obstructed.
This sourceTreats lexicalization, by which a multi-word phrase is stored and retrieved as a single holistic unit whose compositional parts become less accessible under processing pressure.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract supports holistic storage of formulaic chunks that are less flexible, but does not state retrieval-pressure inaccessibility of compositional parts or the resulting retrieval obstruction.
“Parallel analytic and holistic processing strategies are the proposed mechanism which reconciles, on the one hand, our capacity for understanding and producing novel constructions using grammatical knowledge and small lexical units, and on the other, our use of prefabricated material which, though less flexible, also requires less processing.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
