作者研究了词形变化词形之间的形态关系在心理词典中是如何表现的，重点是规则词形变化之间的聚合关系以及同一词位的不同词干形式之间的关系。我们介绍了一系列心理语言学实验的结果，这些实验考察了德语形容词(形容词的格、数和性别的词尾变化)和德语所谓的强动词，当这些词的人称、数字、时态或语气的词干变化时，它们的词干形式不同。来自三个词汇决定实验的证据表明，为了处理目的，规则词缀从它们的词干上被剥离。这将表明，这对无标记和有标记的杆形都适用。另一组实验揭示了不同词缀之间的启动效应以及同一词汇的不同词干形式之间的启动效应。我们将证明屈折的联想模型没有捕捉到这些发现，我们用屈折组合模型解释了我们的结果，其中规则词缀用屈折范例表示，词干变体用结构化词条表示。我们还将论证词干和词缀的形态句法特征形成抽象的欠缺词条。实验结果表明，人类语言处理器利用了这些表示。
The authors investigate how morphological relationships between inflected word forms are represented in the mental lexicon, focusing on paradigmatic relations between regularly inflected word forms and relationships between different stem forms of the same lexeme. We present results from a series of psycholinguistic experiments investigating German adjectives (which are inflected for case, number, and gender) and the so-called strong verbs of German, which have different stem forms when inflected for person, number, tense, or mood.Evidence from three lexical-decision experiments indicates that regular affixes are stripped off from their stems for processing purposes. It will be shown that this holds for both unmarked and marked stem forms. Another set of experiments revealed priming effects between different paradigmatically related affixes and between different stem forms of the same lexeme.We will show that associative models of inflection do not capture these findings, and we explain our results in terms of combinatorial models of inflection in which regular affixes are represented in inflectional paradigms and stem variants are represented in structured lexical entries. We will also argue that the morphosyntactic features of stems and affixes form abstract underspecified entries. The experimental results indicate that the human language processor makes use of these representations.*.
