Evidence of morphological processing was investigated in three word recognition tasks. In the first study, phonological ambiguity of the base morpheme in morphologically complex words of Serbo-Croatian was exploited in order to evaluate the claim that the base morpheme serves as the unit by which entries in the lexicon are accessed. An interaction of base morpheme ambiguity and affix characteristics was obtained and this outcome was interpreted as evidence that all morphological constituents of a word participate in lexical access. In the second study, facilitation due to morphological relatedness of prime and target was observed with Serbo-Croatian materials in the lexical decision and naming versions of the repetition priming task and results were interpreted as evidence of a morphological principle of organization among whole-word forms in the lexicon. In the third study, morphological affixes of both English and Serbo-Croatian words were segmented from a source word and affixed to a target word more rapidly than phonemically matched controls. Results suggest that the morphological constituents of complex words are available in some word recognition tasks and that morphological knowledge is represented in the speaker's lexicon.
在三个单词识别任务中研究了形态加工的证据。在第一项研究中，利用塞尔维亚-克罗地亚语形态复杂单词中基本语素的语音歧义，以评估基本语素作为词汇表中词条访问单位的说法。获得了基本语素歧义与词缀特征的相互作用，这一结果被解释为一个单词的所有形态成分都参与词汇访问的证据。在第二项研究中，在重复启动任务的词汇判断和命名版本中，使用塞尔维亚-克罗地亚语材料观察到了启动词和目标词之间因形态相关性而产生的促进作用，结果被解释为词汇表中全词形式之间存在形态组织原则的证据。在第三项研究中，将英语和塞尔维亚-克罗地亚语单词的形态词缀从源词中分割出来，并比语音匹配的对照组更快地附加到目标词上。结果表明，复杂单词的形态成分在某些单词识别任务中是可用的，并且形态知识在说话者的词汇表中得到体现。
