Research questionResearch question
Two views are opposed:Decompositional, parsing: (novel words as unboyfriendable )
VSWhole word based access(frequent morphological complex
words )
Any preference? Should the both work?

For recognition and comprehension?

BackgroundBackground Evidences that morphological structure plays a role in the processing of complex
words are compatible with both
whole-word and decompositionalwhole-word and decompositional models of representation.
• Inhibitory priming between stem homographs in Italian:

BackgroundBackground
Interpretation:Interpretation: inhibition reflects a competetive realtionship between stem representations rather than whole-word representations in the mental lexicon.
BUTBUTPerhaps the orthographic similarity alone
can account for the inhibition that is observed in the stem homograph condition?

Experiment 1 & 2, 1999Experiment 1 & 2, 1999To take stem homograph inhibition
as evidence for morphological decomposition,it must be shown that the inhibition derives
from stem-level competition and not justfrom word-level orthographic competition.
Ex.2 shows that words that areorthographically related in the same way that
stem homographs are will not inhibiteach other in the same way or to the same
degree that stem homographs do.

Experiment 1 & 2, 1999Experiment 1 & 2, 1999• Stem homograph: MOR-IA• Orthographic relative: MORAL• Stem homograph• allomorph: MUER-E MOR-OS• Orthographic related: MIR-AN• Unrelated control: SILL-A
Recognition of the plural noun mor-os (Moors) should be slowed not just by the verb form mor-ia(die, 1st/3rd person sing. Imperfect), but also by an allomorph of this form, muer-e(die, 3rd person sing, present)

DiscussionDiscussion
Competition may arise at another level within the lexical processing system:
specifically, at a level of representation where all the members of an inflectional paradigm share a single (abstract) morphological entry. (M-level).
• Results go AGAINSTAGAINST the hypothesis that the stem homoghraph effect can be reduced to an orthographic phenomena.

DiscussionDiscussionStem homographs are not not just whole-word
orthographic neibours.The facilitation indicates that ambiguousstems activate multiple affiliated lemmas
prior to recognition. On the decomposition
plus selection model we find facilitation, ratherthan inhibition or no effect, because suppression
occurs only when lexical selection inducesthe conscious perception of a word as a particular
word.

DiscussionDiscussionLexical processing does notdoes not operate exclusivelyin terms of whole-wordterms of whole-word recognition procedures
For familiar words with ambiguous morphological constituents.
Even if the access systemhas supplementary whole-wordsupplementary whole-word procedures
for familiar targets, the facilitation and inhibitionobserved, respectively, in masked and
unmasked stem-homograph priming indicatesthat the decomposition approachdecomposition approach still contributes
to the recognition process for these forms.

ConclusionConclusion Obligatory decompositionObligatory decomposition of complex words may be favored
regardless of whole-word familiarity because it offers a way to extract the
morpho-syntacticand conceptual information that is encoded
separately in affixes and stems.
