What distinguishes stem allomorphy? A masked priming study with French stimuli

Résumé

Since Rumelhart & McClelland (1986) first presented their connectionist model of the English past tense system, the question of the nature of morphological representation has divided psycholinguists. This is a central question in the debates on the nature of cognition, since it concerns the understanding of how the lexicon is organized in terms of structural units, and how these units interact with each other during lexical access. One of the important controversies in this domain is about the description of the core units of the lexicon, namely the morpheme versus lexeme problem. Regarding the later, as Aronoff pointed out (1994), it is better to speak of lexeme-based morphology, because the term "word-based" has led to the misunderstanding that the concrete form of a word might be the basis of morphological operations. However, it is often an abstract stem form of a lexeme, which does never surface as a concrete word form, that constitutes the basis for morphology, and hence, the term "lexeme-based" is more appropriate. This lexeme-based view of morphology is shared by many morphologists (Bybee, 1988; Booij, 2002): morphology is not the "syntax of morphemes" but the extension of patterns of existing systematic form-meaning correspondences between words.
