Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate morphological representation and processing of words printed in Hangul. Previous studies in Korean language have produced different results from other languages―inhibitory orthographic priming effects but no significant morphological ones. To test our hypothesis that Korean morphological processing is robust but its effects are blocked by orthographic processing, we manipulated spatial positions of shared constituents in primes and targets. In Experiment 1 using the immediate repetition priming technique with bisyllabic Sino-Korean words, morphological and orthographic priming effects were found to be modulated by spatial position of shared constituents. At the different constituent positions morphological priming effects were facilitatory but orthographic ones were null; at the same constituent positions morphological priming effects were null but orthographic ones were inhibitory. Experiment 2 also confirmed the results of Experiment 1 with the bisyllabic stimuli whose onsets change due to onset restriction. Findings are discussed in terms of how morphological and orthographic information interacts in reading Sino-Korean words.
