{ "pk": 33323, "title": "The Relationship between Lexical and Syntactic Processing", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Lexical and syntactic processes are usually regarded as separate sub-systems of the language processing system. We re-examine the autonomy of these processes, given a mental lexicon that is morphemically decomposed, in 3 self-paced reading experiments. Although inflectional affixes have a syntactic role and derivational affixes have a lexical role, there were similar patterns of processing for both types of affix (Experiments 1 and 3). This suggests that there is a common combinatorial process at both levels of the system. Using novel and established morphologically complex words, we varied word-internal factors together with sentence level constraints (Experiment 2). Both sentence-level constraints and word-internal factors had parallel effects on the processing of novel and established words. Overall, the results indicate that the relationship between lexical and syntactic processing may be non-autonomous when morphological composition is taken into consideration.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Long Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2pk1q8qq", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Billi", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Randall", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Centre for Speech and Language, Birkbeck College", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "William", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Marslen-Wilson", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "MRC Cognitie and Brains Science Unit, Cambridge", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1998-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33323/galley/24382/download/" } ] }
