语音掩蔽实验探究模糊形态身份与边界前缀词的处理

To comprehend speech, the auditory system segments a continuous input stream at various levels (e.g., sounds, words). Previous studies have shown that listeners also segment complex spoken words like treatment into their morphological units /ˈtriːt/+/mənt/, where there is a clear morphological boundary between /stem/+/affix/. Here, we report an auditory masked priming experiment in Tagalog investigating whether complex spoken words with obscured morphological identity and boundaries are segmented into morphemes. We compare the processing of prefixed words [1] without morphophonological alterna
