Psychology Press - Morphological Aspects of Language Processing

Explore the essential role of morphology in language comprehension with this academic text from Psychology Press. While phonological and orthographic codes are known to assist in word recognition and sentence understanding, this work addresses the often overlooked morphological components that organize words and sentences. For many years, the morpheme has received limited attention in experimental literature from both psychologists and linguists. This book addresses that gap by utilizing recent methodological developments to examine morphological issues in depth. It provides a necessary perspective on how language is structured beyond simple sound and spelling patterns. This text is designed for those studying the mechanics of language processing. By focusing on the experimental literature and new methodologies, it offers a timely look at how morphological structures contribute to the way we recognize isolated words and comprehend complex sequences of language.
