词缀排序的严格程度在不同语言之间存在着丰富的差异，这就提出了一个问题，即普遍因素和特定语言因素如何相互作用来决定词缀的可组合性模式。虽然重点主要是语义范围和语言特定的形式因素的相互作用，在本文中，我们采取了跨语言，类型学的角度来看，一个不同的潜在影响因素：词汇处理的第一步。基于语料库的研究，我们表明，派生后缀的顺序是在俄罗斯比英语的限制。值得注意的是，语义分布的证据也表明，俄语单词在词汇通达过程中更容易被分解。这表明，在一个给定的语言中，整词存储和分解之间的平衡可能部分地决定了派生词缀排序的自由度，更多的分解导致更多的组合自由度。这与基于复杂性的排序假设（Hay 2003）的解释是一致的。
Rich cross-linguistic variability in the strictness of affix ordering raises questions about how universal and language-specific factors interact to determine affix combinability patterns. While focus has been primarily on the interaction of semantic scope and language-specific formal factors, in this paper we take a first step towards a cross-linguistic, typological perspective on a different potential influencing factor: lexical processing. Based on a corpus study, we show that derivational suffix ordering is less constrained in Russian than in English. And significantly, statisticaldistributional evidence also suggests that Russian words are overall more likely to be decomposed during lexical access. This hints that the balance between wholeword storage and decomposition in a given language may partly determine freeness of derivational affix ordering, with more decomposition leading to more freedom of combination. This is consistent with an interpretation of the complexity-based ordering hypothesis (Hay 2003).
