The morphological structure of complex words impacts how they are processed during
visual word recognition. This impact varies over the course of reading acquisition and for …

In the present study, we leveraged computational methods to explore the extent to which,
relative to direct access to semantics from orthographic cues, the additional appreciation of …

We contrast two views of rivalry in word formation. Under the classical, categorical view, two
processes are rivals if they are semantically equivalent. Under the more nuanced, gradient …

Nonarbitrary phenomena in language, such as systematic association in the form–meaning
interface, have been widely reported in the literature. Exploiting such systematic …

This paper provides evidence from distributional semantics on the importance of
paradigmatic relations in word formation systems. We argue that, if paradigmatic relations …

Most printed Chinese words are compounds built from the combination of meaningful
characters. Yet, there is a poor understanding of how individual characters contribute to the …

The productive use of morphological information is considered one of the possible ways in
which speakers of a language understand and learn unknown words. In the present study …

The current study explored cross-language morphological transfer mechanisms using a
similar-script morphological translation priming paradigm in highly proficient unbalanced …

Objective Studies have demonstrated a morphological decomposition process in the initial
stages of visual word recognition based on orthographically defined morphemes and …

Many theories on the role of semantics in morphological representation and processing
focus on the interplay between the lexicalized meaning of the complex word on the one …
