The main objective of the French Lexicon Project is to collect reaction times  (in lexical decision, perceptual identification and naming tasks) on about  40,000 French words (and nonwords) across 1,200 participants from different universities (Université Blaise Pascal, Clermont-Ferrand and Université René Descartes, Paris).  

Thanks to this mega corpus, we will conduct multiple regressions analyses on continuous variables, allowing us to provide answers to some important unresolved theoretical issues in the field of silent reading and reading aloud.

We will also compare our French data with the English Lexicon Project (Balota et al., 2002), the only mega corpus available on a large set of words (40,481).
