Abstract

The British Lexicon Project (BLP) is a dataset of lexical decision data for English words of one or two syllables, including all possible inflected forms of the words. It uses British spelling and non-words matched to the real words across all word lengths. BLP findings largely correspond to those of the English Lexicon Project and can be used in tandem. At the same time, the data shows a smaller effect of word length but a stronger effect of word frequency. BLP data has been important in evaluating computational models for word recognition, testing hypotheses about word features and validating new word norms.
