Abstract

In the present behavioral study, we investigated Uyghur inflectional and derivational word processing of mental lexicon with lexical decision paradigm. Our experiments consisted of two parts: inflectional word processing for experiment 1, and derivational word processing for experiment 2. Experimental materials consist of monomorphemic words, monomorphemic pseudowords, inflected/derived words, and inflected/derived pseudowords. The phonetic length of the stimulus is controlled. Our experiment results show that processing of the inflected and derived words is independent of each other, in which a speaker of the Uyghur represent and access inflected words in a morphologically decomposed form, while derived words are accessed as single entities.
