Cross-linguistic data have always been of interest to mental lexicon researchers, but only now are technological developments beginning to make it possible to treat language as a random variable, in an approach we dub meta-megastudies. A meta-megastudy uses regression techniques to tease apart not just factors that are partially confounded across items within languages, as in traditional megastudies, but also factors partially confounded across languages. While large-scale meta-megastudies will be logistically challenging, they promise great theoretical benefits and are becoming ever more feasible via Web-based coordination between independent research groups.
