There is considerable behavioral evidence that morphologically complex words such as 'tax-
able'and 'kiss-es' are processed and represented combinatorially. In other words, they are …

The present work proposes a computational model of morpheme combination at the
meaning level. The model moves from the tenets of distributional semantics, and assumes …

Although compound words often seem to be words that themselves contain words, this
paper argues that this is not the case for the vast majority of lexicalized compounds. Rather …

Since the work of Taft and Forster (1976), a growing literature has examined how English
compound words are recognized and organized in the mental lexicon. Much of this research …

The current study addresses a discrepancy in the psycholinguistic literature about the
chronology of information processing during the visual recognition of morphologically …

Abstract Effects of semantic transparency, reflected in processing differences between
semantically transparent (teabag) and opaque (ladybird) compounds, have received …

Semantic transparency effects during compound word recognition provide critical insight into
the organization of semantic knowledge and the nature of semantic processing. The past 25 …

In many languages, compounding is a fundamental process for the generation of novel
words. When this process is productive (as, eg, in English), native speakers can juxtapose …

Abstract The Large Database of English Compounds (LADEC) consists of over 8,000
English words that can be parsed into two constituents that are free morphemes, making it …

In this eye-tracking study, we investigated how semantics inform morphological analysis at
the early stages of visual word identification in sentence reading. We exploited a feature of …
