Abstract

We investigate the storage and processing of sound and broken plural forms in the Maltese lexicon by means of a cross-modal priming study. The results show no significant differences in reaction time between sound and broken plurals, but indicate a different priming effect for sound than for broken plurals. We argue that the different priming effect is a result of the phonological overlap between sound singulars and their corresponding plurals forms, while broken singulars and their plurals do not share the same phonological structure. Our results support a single-mechanism model of morphological processing in which both frequency of pattern and morphophonological similarity interact.
启动马耳他语复数
通过跨模态启动研究,我们研究了马耳他词典中声音和断复数形式的存储和处理。结果表明,声音和断复数在反应时间上没有显著差异,但表明声音的启动效应与断复数不同。我们认为,不同的启动效应是声音单数与其对应复数形式之间语音重叠的结果,而断单数与其复数形式并不共享相同的语音结构。我们的结果支持了形态加工的单一机制模型,在该模型中,模式频率和形态语音相似性相互作用。

期刊介绍: The Mental Lexicon is an interdisciplinary journal that provides an international forum for research that bears on the issues of the representation and processing of words in the mind and brain. We encourage both the submission of original research and reviews of significant new developments in the understanding of the mental lexicon. The journal publishes work that includes, but is not limited to the following: Models of the representation of words in the mind Computational models of lexical access and production Experimental investigations of lexical processing Neurolinguistic studies of lexical impairment. Functional neuroimaging and lexical representation in the brain Lexical development across the lifespan Lexical processing in second language acquisition The bilingual mental lexicon Lexical and morphological structure across languages Formal models of lexical structure Corpus research on the lexicon New experimental paradigms and statistical techniques for mental lexicon research.
