ABSTRACT
Though the role of morphology in a model of language production has recently become a topic of interest, most investigations in the production literature have been focused on linguistic levels of speech other than morphology per se. Production models have usually used as examples the simplest morphological form of a word, the root, or sometimes the root with a single suffix or prefix, (e.g., Butterworth, 1989; Dell & O’Seaghdha, 1992; Levelt, 1989, 1992; Roelofs, this volume). Words with multiple affixes, different morphological types of affixes, and most of the different affixation processes used in languages have yet to be systematically examined in the production domain. As a result, only a small subset of the types of words in languages’ lexical inventories have actually been considered.
