| Research Abstract |
This study aims to investigate how Japanese learners of English store and process English suffixed words in their mental lexicon. A lexical decision task revealed that there are tendency that words with semantically and phonologically transparent suffixes are stored and processed as two parts, a base and a suffix, while ones with semantically and phonologically less transparent suffixes are stored and processed as one unit.
