Research Abstract |
This study attempts to reveal how the lexical network between derived words and their stems is structured in the mental lexicon of Japanese English learners. The results show that Japanese English learners are as sensitive to the internal structures of English derived words as native English speakers, meaning that Japanese English learners decompose certain derived words into their components to process. It was also found that Japanese learners of English,unlike native English speakers, did not obtain sufficient semantic feedback from semantic processing, so that orthographic activation was not inhibited.
