The processing of morpheme-like units in monomorphemic words. Marcus Taft Paul Kougious School of PsychologyUniversity of New South WalesSydney, AUSTRALIA % Error primed control * Are these polymorphemic words? ACTOR ORIGINATE TIDAL ARTIST MOSTLY YES DONATE FINISH VIRUS FLORA MOSTLY NO What about these? DONOR ADHESIVE VIRAL FLORIST SOME YES SOME NO And these? So, VIRUS is not a polymorphemic word, but VIRAL might be. DONATE is not a polymorphemic word, but DONOR might be. But VIRUS and VIRAL are clearly related, and they are related through VIR. Does this mean that VIR is a (bound) stem morpheme? Similarly is DON a stem morpheme in DONATE and DONOR, even though the former is not considered to be polymorphemic? Is FLOR a stem morpheme in FLORA and FLORIST? Is FIN a stem morpheme in FINISH and FINAL? Basically, we cannot define what is and is not a morpheme and this is a problem for any model of lexical processing that has all-or-none morphemic representations. An alternative suggestion: A lemma representation for words,  mediating between form and  meaning. Lemma representations for  sublexical units depending on the  correlation of their form with  meaning across different contexts. Sublexical form units. Sublexical form units. Taft (1979, 1987, 2001, 2002) claimed that polymorphemic words are represented in terms of their BASIC ORTHOGRAPHIC SYLLABIC STRUCTURE (BOSS). BOSS = Maximization of the coda of the first syllable Examples: LAB + EL (not LA + BEL) VIR + US (not VI + RUS) DON + ATE (not DO + NATE) SPLEND + ID (not SPLEN + DID) MAT + URE (not MA + TURE) A lemma representation for  words, mediating between form  and meaning. EL label labour SEMANTICS LAB OUR LEMMAS ORTHOGRAPHY Lemma representations for  sublexical units depending on the  correlation of their form with  meaning across different contexts. So, there is a lemma that captures the correlation between the
