Fig 1.
A sample stimuli set for Experiment 1.
The target words are underlined in the Arabic frame sentences and the English translation. HF and LF are high- and low frequency target words conditions, respectively, and HFD and LFD are diacritized high- and low frequency target words conditions, respectively.
Fig 2.
A sample stimuli set for Experiment 2.
The target words are underlined in the Arabic frame sentences and the English translation. L and S are long (6 letter) and short (4 letter) target words conditions, respectively, and LD and SD are diacritized long and short target words conditions, respectively.

Fig 3.
A sample stimuli set for Experiment 3.
The target words are underlined in the Arabic frame sentences and the English translation. HP and LP are high- and low-predictability target words conditions, respectively, and LPD is the diacritized low-predictability condition.
