The four experiments reported in this paper were designed to determine to what extent words are lexically represented in terms of their morphological structure. The experiments are carried out in Spanish, a language with rich morphological resources, using a priming paradigm and a lexical decision task. In particular, they examined the pattern of priming effects in regular inflected words with gender and in derived words, in comparison to those produced by orthographically and semantically related words, by manipulating form similarity and semantic transparency. The results showed, on the one hand, that regular inflected words produced reliable facilitatory effects which are not driven just by form relatedness (Experiments 1 and 2). On the other hand, they showed that both transparent and nontransparent derived forms produced facilitatory effects distinct from purely orthographic and semantic effects (Experiments 3 and 4). In general, these findings suggest that morphological information is represented in the mental lexicon and may play a central role in the individuation and retrieval of lexical entries.
本文所报告的四项实验旨在确定单词在多大程度上依据其形态结构进行词汇表征。这些实验以西班牙语进行，西班牙语是一种具有丰富形态资源的语言，采用了启动范式和词汇判断任务。具体而言，通过操纵形式相似性和语义透明度，他们研究了与正字法和语义相关词所产生的启动效应相比，带有性别的规则屈折词和派生词中的启动效应模式。结果表明，一方面，规则屈折词产生了可靠的促进效应，这种效应并非仅仅由形式相关性驱动（实验1和实验2）。另一方面，结果显示透明和不透明的派生形式都产生了不同于纯粹正字法和语义效应的促进效应（实验3和实验4）。总体而言，这些发现表明形态信息在心理词典中得到表征，并且可能在词汇项的个体化和检索中发挥核心作用。
