ABSTRACT

The present study investigates how morphological information is processed and represented in the bilingual lexicon. We employed a masked cross-language morphological priming paradigm to examine morphological decomposition and semantic transparency in bilingual lexical processing. A robust and reliable morphological priming effect was observed for both transparent compounds and opaque compounds, though there was a strong trend for more facilitation in the former than the latter. To account for these results, we propose a lemma-based bilingual model specifying the activation/competition between lemmas during cross-language activation at the morphological level. Our novel findings advance the understanding of interplay between morphology and bilingualism.

摘要

本研究调查了双语词典中如何处理和表示形态信息。我们采用屏蔽的跨语言形态启动范式来检查双语词汇处理中的形态分解和语义透明度。对于透明化合物和不透明化合物，都观察到了强大而可靠的形态启动效应，尽管前者比后者更容易促进的趋势明显。为了解释这些结果，我们提出了一个基于引理的双语模型，在形态学层面上指定了跨语言激活期间引理之间的激活/竞争。我们的新发现促进了对形态学和双语之间相互作用的理解。
