The morphological complexity of a word is thought to affect the time taken to prepare a verbal response. However, whether it also affects its pronunciation is currently under debate. In the present study, we investigated this issue in German using a reading aloud task. Sixty skilled adult readers read aloud 80 nonwords, comprising 40 morphologically-complex nonwords (e.g., HUNDUNG, where...

A masked priming experiment was designed to compare an account of visual polymorphemic word recognition that entails obligatory decomposition and a dual pathways account where such decomposition is supplemented with a whole-word recognition system through which words are decomposed post-lexically. Letter transposition was applied to word primes taken from a previous study, creating nonword...

Grammatical processing can be affected by speaker identity (Hanulikova et al., 2012), as well as construction frequency (Hahne & Friederici, 1999). However, it is still not clear whether native listeners are sensitive to the typicality of grammatical errors from a set of speakers (e.g., non-native L2 speakers). To address this question we considered grammatical errors that English natives...

Poster

Stem priming effects can be attributed to combinations of morphological, phonological, and semantic factors. To understand morphological processing, these factors should be dissociated. Previous research addressed this through time-course of effects (Feldman 2000) or carefully-constructed controls (Stockall & Marantz 2006). Previously, we incorporated rhyme into a stem-priming task...
