Abstract

An experiment was conducted to examine the morphological processing in visual recognition of Korean compound words with saisios. Saisios is one single consonant inserted between constituent morphemes of a compound when a phonological change takes place for the compound. Using the constituent priming method, for each trial, either the first constituent morpheme or an unrelated word was presented masked prior to the presentation of a compound target. The results showed no priming effects for bisyllabic compounds, but significant priming effects for trisyllabic compounds irrespective of whether the saisios was removed from the prime or not. Based on the results, the role of morphology in the representation and processing of Korean compound words was discussed.
