Abstract

This study was planned to examine whether decomposition processes between modifier and head are necessary in the interpretation of compound nouns and whether word frequency and semantic transparency have an effect on the decomposition processes by comparing the masked priming task and the unmasked priming task. In Experiment 1, whether decomposition processes were influenced by the word frequency of compound nouns was analyzed and the amount of priming effects between the whole condition and the part condition were not different in the masked priming task but inconsistent results were found in the unmasked task. In Experiment 2, semantic transparency 's effects on the decomposition processes were investigated and similar results as experiment 1 were found. In conclusion, decomposition processes is pre-lexical and necessary processes in the interpretation of compound nouns
