Jasmine Spencer; Hasibe Kahraman; Elisabeth Beyersmann – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Reading morphologically complex words requires analysis of their morphemic subunits (e.g., play + er); however, the positional constraints of morphemic processing are still little understood. The current study involved three unprimed lexical decision experiments to directly compare the positional encoding of stems and affixes during reading and to…

Lázaro, Miguel; Sainz, Javier; Illera, Víctor – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2015
In this article we present two lexical decision experiments that examine the role of base frequency and of derivative suffix productivity in visual recognition of Spanish words. In the first experiment we find that complex words with productive derivative suffixes result in lower response times than those with unproductive derivative suffixes.…

Kuperman, Victor; Bertram, Raymond; Baayen, R. Harald – Journal of Memory and Language, 2010
This eye-tracking study explores visual recognition of Dutch suffixed words (e.g., "plaats+ing" "placing") embedded in sentential contexts, and provides new evidence on the interplay between storage and computation in morphological processing. We show that suffix length crucially moderates the use of morphological properties. In words with shorter…

Kielar, A.; Joanisse, Marc F.; Hare, M. L. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2008
A key question in language processing concerns the rule-like nature of many aspects of grammar. Much research on this topic has focused on English past tense morphology, which comprises a regular, rule-like pattern (e.g., bake-baked) and a set of irregular forms that defy a rule-based description (e.g., take-took). Previous studies have used past…

Jarmulowicz, Linda; Hay, Sarah E. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2009
Purpose: This study describes a post hoc analysis of segmental, stress, and syllabification errors in third graders' productions of derived English words with the stress-changing suffixes "-ity" and "-ic." We investigated whether (a) derived word frequency influences error patterns, (b) stress and syllabification errors always co-occur, and (c)…

Jarmulowicz, Linda; Taran, Valentina L. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2007
Purpose: This study examined whether lexical frequency, semantic knowledge, or sentence context affect children's production of primary stress in derived words with stress-changing suffixes (e.g., "-ity"). Method: Thirty children (M[subscript age] = 9;1 [years;months]) produced a limited set of high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) derived…

Burani, Cristina; Marcolini, Stefania; De Luca, Maria; Zoccolotti, Pierluigi – Cognition, 2008
The role of morphology in reading aloud was examined measuring naming latencies to pseudowords and words composed of morphemes (roots and derivational suffixes) and corresponding simple pseudowords and words. Three groups of Italian children of different ages and reading abilities, including dyslexic children, as well as one group of adult readers…

Kuperman, Victor; Bertram, Raymond; Baayen, R. Harald – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2008
This paper explores the time-course of morphological processing of trimorphemic Finnish compounds. We find evidence for the parallel access to full-forms and morphological constituents diagnosed by the early effects of compound frequency, as well as early effects of left constituent frequency and family size. We also observe an interaction between…

Linares, Rafael Enrique; Rodriguez-Fornells, Antoni; Clahsen, Harald – Brain and Language, 2006
This study presents results from a nonce-word elicited production task and a reading experiment using event-related brain potentials (ERPs) investigating finite forms of Spanish verbs which consist of marked stems and regular person and number agreement suffixes. The first experiment showed that unmarked stems are productively extended to nonce…

Meunier, Fanny; Longtin, Catherine-Marie – Journal of Memory and Language, 2007
In the present study, we looked at cross-modal priming effects produced by auditory presentation of morphologically complex pseudowords in order to investigate semantic integration during the processing of French morphologically complex items. In Experiment 1, we used as primes pseudowords consisting of a non-interpretable combination of roots and…

Presents a new set of experimental data from brain-damaged aphasic patients as well as from normal individuals on the processing of two nominals suffixes in Japanese--"-sa" and "-mi." (Author/VWL)

Kuczaj, Stan A., II; Borys, Robert H. – Language Sciences, 1988
Three- to nine-year-olds' (N=80) post-exposure production of regular and irregular suffixes indicated that subjects found it easier to learn a regular suffix when they heard it used with phonetically similar base forms. Subjects were more likely to overgeneralize the regular suffix to irregular forms when they had heard it used in conjunction with…

Niswander, Elizabeth; Pollatsek, Alexander; Rayner, Keith – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2000
Assessed encoding of suffixed words (both derivations and inflections) by monitoring eye movements during reading English sentences in which target words were embedded. Whole-word frequency and root frequency were independently manipulated, where pairs of words differing on one variable and matched on the other were inserted into the same sentence…

Windsor, Jennifer; Hwang, Mina – Annals of Dyslexia, 1997
Knowledge of derivational suffix meanings was investigated in 10 subjects (ages 10-12) with language learning disabilities and typical peers. Students produced derived forms from nonce bases in an elicitation task and selected derived forms in a forced choice task. Elicitation task accuracy of subjects fell substantially below that of peers.…

Lemhofer, Kristin; Schriefers, Herbert; Jescheniak, Jorg D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
In many languages, the production of noun phrases requires the selection of gender-marked elements like determiners or inflectional suffixes. There is a recent debate as to whether the selection of freestanding gender-marked elements, such as determiners, follows the same processing mechanisms as the selection of bound gender-marked morphemes,…
