Morphology in the lexicon
● Full parsing
– in comprehension words parsed into morpheme
– in production words built out of morphemes
Morphology in the lexicon
● Full parsing
– in comprehension words parsed into morpheme
– in production words built out of morphemes● Full listing
– in comprehension people access whole words
– in production people give whole words
Morphology in the lexicon
● Race model
– in comprehension words are both parsed into morphemes and searched for as wholes
– fastest route wins
– in production (???)
Morphology in the lexicon
● Race model
– in comprehension words are both parsed into morphemes and searched for as wholes
– fastest route wins
– in production (???)● Dual route model
– in comprehension (??)
– in production regulars are built from morphemes, irregulars are retrieved as wholes from memory
Morphology in the lexicon
● Are derivation and inflection handled differently?
– Inflectional affixes: -s, -ed, -ing, -er, -est
– Derivational affixes: re-, -ment, -ly, -hood, -ate

● Are derivation and inflection handled differently?
– Inflectional affixes: -s, -ed, -ing, -er, -est
– Derivational affixes: re-, -ment, -ly, -hood, -ate● Derivation changes essential meaning● Inflectional adds info like tense, number, person
Morphology in the lexicon
● Evidence that inflections are added, not preattached
– Slips of the tongue• Thank Chucks
• He's go arounding telling people . . .
• Doctrines and Covenant– Regularization
» finded, oxes, singed

Morphology in the lexicon
– Lexical decision task• regular inflections prime,irregular don't
– plays primes play as well as plays does– sings doesn't prime sang as well as sings does

– plays primes play as well as plays does– sings doesn't prime sang as well as sings does
» Could this be due to orthographic similarity?
Morphology in the lexicon
– PET scan• regular and irregular inflections use different part of
brain

– PET scan• regular and irregular inflections use different part of
brain– Problem: all regulars processed together, then all
irregulars» Different strategies in each case

irregulars» Different strategies in each case» Need to intersperse them» You can't with PET scan, too slow

● LDT
– Some find different degrees of priming for derivational and inflectional
• baker > bake

Morphology in the lexicon
● Prefix stripping (full parsing)
– we decompose words into morphemes then look up base in mental lexicon
• unprefixed word: skittle
• prefixed word: reissue
• pseudo prefixed word: rejuvenate, deceive

● Prefix stripping (full parsing)
– we decompose words into morphemes then look up base in mental lexicon
• unprefixed word: skittle fast RT
• prefixed word: reissue fast RT
• pseudo prefixed word: rejuvenate, deceive slow RT– slow because people have stripped affix and search for
*juvenate and *ceive

● Full listing
– If words are built online by morphemes (which have meaning) how do you account for de- and con- that has no consistent meaning?
– Slips of tongue keep prefixes• porcupines < concubines
Morphology in the lexicon
● Full listing
– If words are built online by morphemes then you often have to change pronunciation too
• propel > propel+tion
• condense > condense+ation
• destroy > destroy+tion
• pronounce > pronounce+iation
• seduce > seduce +ion

– Wouldn't it be easier to store them as wholes with surface pronunciation?

– If words are built online by derivational morphemes then you would expect slips of the tongue that switch morphemes
• indulge+ment < indulge+ance
Morphology in the lexicon

● Full listing
– complex and simple words recognized equally fast• bak+er vs. motor

• print+er vs. flounder
Morphology in the lexicon
● LDT with word pairs
– non-word in pair• laftor progress
– both monomorphemic• porcupine attack
– both suffixed• builder printer
– one suffixed, one unsuffixed, but with same spelling
• slander printer

– both monomorphemic• porcupine attack
– both suffixed• builder printer
– one suffixed, one unsuffixed, but with same spelling
• slander printer– These took longer to process than builder / printer– This shows we can identify morphemes, not that we
have to

● Frequency affect RT
– Is it frequency of individual word (window, windows)?
– or frequency of room (freq of window+freq of windows)?

● Frequency affect RT
– Is it frequency of individual word (window, windows)?
– or frequency of room (freq of window+freq of windows)?
– Cumulative frequency supports parsing
– Individual frequency supports whole word storage

● Frequency affect RT
– river is more freq than rivers
– windows is more freq than window
– freq of river+rivers is same as freq of window+windows
river rivers

– RT to river faster than to rivers
– RT to windows faster than to river

Phonology in the lexicon
● Bathtub effect
– beginnings and ends of words more salient• In ToT state people remember beginning and end
sounds more often
• This must relate to storage

● Middle of the road approach
– Words are stored as wholes
– Words are connected to other words that are phonologically, semantically, orthographically similar
– When tons of words are connected because they end in -er (verb-er), and they mean person who does X, a morpheme is identified without removing or adding it to the word during processing
