“…For instance, in a language with rich morphology such as Italian, there are about 50 inflected verb forms (with different suffixes to differentiate forms by tense, mood, person, and number), 2-4 noun forms, and 2-4 adjective forms (with different suffixes for gender and number). For this reason, distributional properties of noun, adjective, and verb forms have been considered as one of the main features that may generate differences between grammatical classes in word recognition tasks (e.g., Deutsch, Frost, & Forster, 1998, for Hebrew;Kostić & Katz, 1987, for Serbo-Croatian;Traficante, 2012, Traficante & Burani, 2003, and Traficante, Marelli, Luzzatti, & Burani, 2014. Siri et al (2008) provided evidence that activation of the left IFG is modulated by selection demands during morphological processes rather than by verb-specific processing.…”
