In standard generative approaches, word-formation rules contain, among other things, information on the semantics of the suffix and the syntactic category (or word-class) of possible bases. Based on the general assumption that word-class specification of the input is a crucial ingredient of derivational morphology, far-reaching claims have been made. For example, the unitary base hypothesis (Ar...

In both non-linear and non-derivational phonology, stress plays a central role in the general architecture of the theoretical model. However, while word stress is normally considered, little, if any, attention is devoted to phrasal stress as well as to linguistic rhythm. The phonological study of stress is based on an abstract and ideal view of language, which is far away from the effective pro...

From a phonological point of view, morphological words, i.e. syntactic atoms, do not necessarily behave as a unit. For instance, derivational affixes and compound members can be treated independently by phonological word-level rules. The prosodic word has been defined in order to account for the non-isomorphy between morphology and phonology. Prosodic words are typically characterized as being ...

Lexical decision task in an event-related potential experiment was used in order to determine the organization of mental lexicon regarding the polimorphemic words: are they stored as unanalyzable items or as separate morphemes? The results indicate the later: while monomorphemic words elicit N400 component, usually related to lexical-semantic processing, prefixed words and prefixed pseudo-words...

Arguments concerning the relative role of semantic and grammatical factors in word formation have proven to be a wedge issue in current debates over the nature of linguistic representation and processing. In the present paper, we re-examine claims by Ramscar [Ramscar, M. (2002). The role of meaning in inflection: Why the past tense does not require a rule. Cognitive Psychology, 45, 45-94.] that...
