Many theories of word structure in linguistics and morphological processing in cognitive psychology are grounded in a compositional perspective on the (mental) lexicon in which complex words are built up during speech production from sublexical elements such as morphemes, stems, and exponents. When combined with the hypothesis that storage in the lexicon is restricted to the irregular, the prediction follows that properties specific to regular inflected words cannot co-determine the phonetic realization of these inflected words. This study shows that the stem vowels of regular English inflected verb forms that are more frequent in their paradigm are produced with more enhanced articulatory gestures in the midsaggital plane, challenging compositional models of lexical processing. The effect of paradigmatic probability dovetails well with the and is consistent with a growing body of research indicating that the whole is more than its parts.
语言学中许多关于词结构的理论以及认知心理学中关于形态加工的理论，都基于对（心理）词汇的组合观点，即在言语产生过程中，复杂词是由诸如语素、词干和词素变体等亚词汇元素构建而成的。当与词汇存储仅限于不规则词这一假设相结合时，就会得出这样的预测：规则屈折词特有的属性无法共同决定这些屈折词的语音实现。本研究表明，在其词形变化表中出现频率较高的规则英语屈折动词形式的词干元音，在矢状面中部会以更强化的发音动作产生，这对词汇加工的组合模型提出了挑战。词形变化概率的影响与之一致，并且与越来越多表明整体大于部分之和的研究结果相符。
