ChatGPT-associated stylistic markers (e.g., delve, underscore) surged in prevalence shortly after ChatGPT's launch, but in 2025, we saw a rather consistent decline

Great question! In priming, seeing X-Y makes processing X-Y easier next time. But in our final experiment, after reading X-Y, participants judged X in the absence of Y—yet X and Y became closer in the participant's mind . So I would say this goes beyond priming, although definitely related.

Thank you Jamie. As a fellow word nerd, I think Exp 5 will be of particular interest to you. We used Walsh and Rissman's (2023) innovative measure to index relatedness between two words *without* showing to participants the two words together.

Results suggest involvement of episodic memory in language comprehension and highlight the flexibility of the mental lexicon. Results also provide a simple mechanism to how the lexicon acquires its associative structure.
