Abstract This study addresses the issue of prefix processing and representation by taking into account two quantitative dimensions of prefix distribution in Italian: (1) the number of word-types in which a given prefix is present; (2) the quantitative relationship between this number and the number of word-types in which the same orthographic sequence is present as a pseudoprefix. The effects of these two variables were evaluated in two lexical decision experiments on printed stimuli. In both the experiments, we assessed the performance of subjects on prefixed nonwords resulting from the illegal combination of a prefix and a real word in Italian. The prefixes included in the nonwords varied along the two dimensions. The results showed that decision latencies varied according to the values of the second variable (the quantitative relationship between prefixed and pseudoprefixed words in the language), which appeared to be effective in determining the likelihood of prefix recognition with subsequent morphol...
