摘要:Models describing the processing of morphologically complex words have to address at least two theoretical issues: first, whether morphemes are separately represented in the mental lexicon, or whether complex words are rather accessed as units; second, whether different word properties (e.g., grammatical vs. semantic aspects) play a relevant role. Some models conceive a direct access to full-form lexical representations from the semantic system (e.g., Caramazza, 1997). Other architectures posit a layer between the semantic system and a morpheme-based lexicon; this layer, the lemma level, represents the grammatical properties of words and would be a mandatory step in word production (e.g., Levelt et al., 1999). In this study, we assess the reading performance of a deep dyslexic patient, GR, in order to distinguish between the two theoretical hypotheses.
