Abstract
In this paper, our primary intention is to determine the access mechanism and representation of semantically related Bangla word pairs in the mental lexicon. We conduct a visual priming experiment and user-annotated experiment over a number of native speakers in Bangla. After analyzing the response time and rate of errors, we observed that the priming is triggered to the semantically related word pairs in the mental lexicon. On the other hand, the response time data thus collected is used to evaluate on vector space model for finding the complete behavior of semantically related Bangla word pairs in the mental lexicon. The visual word recognition and interactive methods are to ensure with our result that the semantic priming may trigger or regulate the processing of word pairs at an early stage.
