“…They also argued that whole-word representations are stored at the lexeme level since the lack of the critical interaction effect in the picture verification task rules out conceptual and lemma stages while the lack of the interaction in repetition rules out post-lexical stages. However, this result was not replicated in a study of unimpaired Dutch speakers, who produced both plural-dominant and singular-dominant plurals more slowly than singulars, and plural-dominant plurals more Downloaded by [New York University] A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t A MORPHOLOGICALLY RICH LEXICON 10 slowly than singular dominant plurals (Baayen, Levelt, Schreuder, & Ernestus, 2008) Turning now to post-lexical stages, Jacobs and Dell (2014) utilized the implicit priming/form preparation paradigm to tap into segmental processing, a stage that is commonly referred to as phonological encoding. In their study, compounds such as sawdust showed priming effects that were similar to monomorphemic words (e.g., bandit) but that differed from noun phrases (e.g., grey dust).…”

Current evidence suggests that there is a difference between the representations of multimorphemic words in production and perception. In perception, it is widely believed that both whole-word and root representations exist, while in production there is little evidence for whole-word representations. The present investigation demonstrates that whole-word and root frequency independently predict the duration of words suffixed with -ing, -ed, and -s, which reveals that both root and word representations play a role in the production of inflected English words. In a second line of analysis, we find that the number of inflected phonological neighbours independently predicts the duration of monomorphemic words, which extends these results and suggests that whole-word representations exist at the lexical level. Together these results suggest that both root and word representations of inflected words are stored in the lexicon and are relevant for the production of both monomorphemic and multimorphemic words.

“…Most data that test such predictions come from comprehension studies, or from studies on the interface between comprehension and production, presenting complex words as distractors to pictures with monomorphemic names (e.g., Zwitserlood et al, 2002; Köster and Schiller, 2008; Lüttmann et al, 2011b; Verdonschot et al, 2012). To date, studies on the actual production of complex words are quite rare (e.g., Roelofs and Baayen, 2002; Lüttmann et al, 2011a; Jacobs and Dell, 2014). …”

This study examines the lexical representation and processing of noun-noun compounds and their grammatical gender during speech production in German, a language that codes for grammatical gender (masculine, feminine, and neuter). Using a picture-word interference paradigm, participants produced determiner-compound noun phrases in response to pictures, while ignoring written distractor words. Compound targets were either semantically transparent (e.g., birdhouse) or opaque (e.g., hotdog), and their constituent nouns either had the same or a different gender (internal gender match). Effects of gender-congruent but otherwise unrelated distractor nouns, and of two morphologically related distractors corresponding to the first or second constituent were assessed relative to a completely unrelated, gender-incongruent distractor baseline. Both constituent distractors strongly facilitated compound naming, and these effects were independent of the targets' semantic transparency. This supports retrieval of constituent morphemes for semantically transparent and opaque compounds during speech production. Furthermore, gender congruency between compounds and distractors did not speed up naming in general, but interacted with gender match of the compounds' constituent nouns, and their semantic transparency. A significant gender-congruency effect was obtained with semantically transparent compounds, consisting of two constituent nouns of the same gender, only. In principle, this pattern is compatible with a multiple lemma representation account for semantically transparent, but not for opaque compounds. The data also fit with a more parsimonious, holistic representation for all compounds at the lemma level, when differences in co-activation patterns for semantically transparent and opaque compounds are considered.

“…For instance, Levelt et al (1999) proposed that frequent compounds are represented as single units at the lemma level and in terms of individual morphemes at word-form level (see also Bien, Levelt, & Baayen, 2005;Jacobs & Dell, 2014). Other authors have proposed stored representations of compounds at the level of word forms (Caramazza, 1997;Janssen, Bi, & Caramazza, 2008).…”

There is mounting evidence that the ease of producing and understanding language depends not only on the frequencies of individual words but also on the frequencies of word combinations. However, in two picture description experiments, Janssen and Barber (2012) found that French and Spanish speakers’ speech onset latencies for short phrases depended exclusively on the frequencies of the phrases but not on the frequencies of the individual words. They suggested that speakers retrieved phrase-sized units from the mental lexicon. In the present study, we examined whether the time required to plan complex noun phrases in Dutch would likewise depend only on phrase frequencies. Participants described line drawings in phrases such as rode schoen [red shoe] (Experiments 1 and 2) or de rode schoen [the red shoe] (Experiment 3). Replicating Janssen and Barber’s findings, utterance onset latencies depended on the frequencies of the phrases but, deviating from their findings, also depended on the frequencies of the adjectives in adjective-noun phrases and the frequencies of the nouns in determiner-adjective-noun phrases. We conclude that individual word frequencies and phrase frequencies both affect the time needed to produce noun phrases and discuss how these findings may be captured in models of the mental lexicon and of phrase production.
