“…It is thought that the decomposition of the morphological structure would enable, and thus speed up, processing while reading (Elbro 1989). Support for this has been provided by several priming studies that have suggested the lexicon be morphologically organized (Diependaele, Sandra, & Grainger, 2005;Feldman, 1991;Leikin & Zur Hagit, 2006). In addition to aiding lexical processing, such segmentation assists in the pronunciation of letter sequences.…”

Early development and predictors of morphological awareness: disentangling the impact of decoding skills and phonological awareness. AbstractBackground: Morphological Awareness (MA) has been demonstrated to be influential on the reading outcomes of children and adults. Yet, little is known regarding MA's early development. Aim: The aim of this study is to better understand MA at different stages of development and its association with Phonological Awareness (PA) and reading. Methods and Procedures:In a longitudinal design the development of MA was explored in a group of pre-reading children with a family risk of dyslexia and agematched controls from kindergarten up to and including grade 2. Outcomes and Results: MA deficits were observed in the group with literacy difficulties at all time points. PA was only found to make a significant contribution to MA development at the early stages of formal reading instruction. While first-grade decoding skills were found to contribute significantly to MA in second grade. Conclusions:Evidence supporting a bidirectional relation was found and supports the need for adequate MA intervention and explicit instruction for "at risk" children in the early stages of literacy instruction.

“…At the present stage of our knowledge, we cannot exclude that the compound frequency effect is also indicative of facilitation from semantic processing, given that semantic effects have been observed for very short initial time spans (cf., e.g., Diependaele, Grainger & Sandra, 2005;Hauk & Pulvermüller, 2004;Penolazzi et al, 2007;cf., also Baayen, Feldman & Schreuder, 2006, for evidence concerning a strong semantic component to the word frequency effect).…”

“…Sublexical models hold that complex words undergo obligatory parsing and that lexical access proceeds via their morphemes (cf., Taft, 1991;Taft & Forster, 1975, 1976. Supralexical models, by contrast, argue that morphemes are accessed only after the compound as a whole has been recognized (e.g., Diependaele, Sandra & Grainger, 2005;Giraudo & Grainger, 2001). Dual route models hypothesize that full-form based processing goes hand in hand with decompositional processing.…”

“…The higher the frequency of a complex word in language, the stronger the association between that word and its morphemes, and the more experience the reader has with integrating a given morpheme into that embedding word. If so, a high-frequency compound may benefit more from identification of one of its constituents than a low-frequency compound.At the present stage of our knowledge, we cannot exclude that the compound frequency effect is also indicative of facilitation from semantic processing, given that semantic effects have been observed for very short initial time spans (cf., e.g., Diependaele, Grainger & Sandra, 2005;Hauk & Pulvermüller, 2004;Penolazzi et al, 2007; cf., also Baayen, Feldman & Schreuder, 2006, for evidence concerning a strong semantic component to the word frequency effect).In addition to constituent frequency and family size effects, and in addition to the compound frequency effect, we obtained ample evidence for a role of morphemes that are embedded inside the immediate constituents of compounds. Thus, embedded affixes that are more productive elicited shorter gaze durations, as expected given previous studies of bimorphemic derivations (cf., e.g., Bertram et al, 1999).…”

This paper reports an eye-tracking experiment with 2500 polymorpemic Dutch compounds presented in isolation for visual lexical decision, while readers' eye-movements were registered. We found evidence that both full-forms of compounds (dishwasher) and their constituent morphemes (e.g., dish, washer, er) and morphological families of constituents (sets of compounds with a shared constituent) played a role in compound processing. We observed simultaneous effects of compound frequency, left constituent frequency and family size early (i.e., before the whole compound has been scanned), and also effects of right constituent frequency and family size that emerged after the compound frequency effect. The temporal order of these and other effects that we observed goes against assumptions of many models of lexical processing. We propose specifications for a new multiple route model of polymorphemic compound processing, which is based on time-locked, parallel and interactive use of all morphological cues, as soon as they become (even partly) available to the visual uptake system. Keywords: morphological structure; lexical processing; eye movements; compounds 2 Current models of morphological processing and representation in reading have explored a wide range of logically possible architectures. Sublexical models hold that complex words undergo obligatory parsing and that lexical access proceeds via their morphemes (cf., Taft, 1991;Taft & Forster, 1975, 1976. Supralexical models, by contrast, argue that morphemes are accessed only after the compound as a whole has been recognized (e.g., Diependaele, Sandra & Grainger, 2005;Giraudo & Grainger, 2001). Dual route models hypothesize that full-form based processing goes hand in hand with decompositional processing. The two access routes are usually assumed to be independent (Allen & Badecker, 2002;Baayen & Schreuder, 1999;Frauenfelder & Schreuder, 1992;Laudanna & Burani, 1995;Schreuder & Baayen, 1995), although an interactive dual route model has been proposed as well . In connectionist models such as the triangle model (Seidenberg & McClelland, 1989), morphological effects are interpreted as arising due to the convergence of orthographic, phonological and semantic codes. What all these theories have in common is that they were developed to explain data obtained with chronometric measures for isolated reading of bimorphemic complex words. As a consequence, they tend to remain silent about the time-course of information uptake in the reading of complex words.Establishing the temporal order of activation of full-forms (e.g., dishwasher) of complex words and of their morphological constituents (e.g., dish and washer) is critical for adjudicating between competing models of morphological processing. The present study addresses the time-course of morphological processing by considering the reading of long, polymorphemic Dutch compounds. Importantly, current models of morphological processing offer different 3 predictions with regard to the visual recognition of such compo...

“…The faster route 'wins' and gets to operate the processing of each particular word. Dual-route parallel models (such as Schreuder and Baayen (1995), Baayen and Schreuder (1999;) and models that combine morpho-orthographic and morphosemantic systems that may lead to either the whole-word or decomposition (proposed by Diependaele et al (2005)) respond to scientific evidence that many factors influence access to complex words (cf. Kuperman et al (2010) for a review of the area).…”

Limits on the extension of affixal combination: structural restrictions and processing conditions The study of the mental lexicon has been fostered by the analysis of the way complex words are mentally represented and processed. This paper concerns the syntagmatic extension of multiple affixation; specifically, the processing of complex words that contain four suffixes that operate in word-formation patterns of Portuguese. Although the individual addition of suffixes obeys structural constraints, the multiple combination results in complex words with low frequency and low expectedness by the speaker, which contribute to the lack of semantic transparency and of affixal salience of the combination. Our study demonstrates a relation between these factors and the experience of the speaker with the affixal combination, which determines the pattern character of the combination. We suggest that a suffix exerts the prediction of other suffixes as long as the combination is expected. Non-frequent heterocategorial complex words with a combination of four suffixes are contrasted with non-frequent words containing pleonastic affixation. In the latter type of words, the redundancy of semantic structures increases the semantic transparency of the word, which suggests a prediction effect operating on the semantic level of the affixal combination. Processing of complex words is dependent on the level of expectedness of the speaker towards the affix combination, which constrains the level of word acceptance by speakers.
