Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Taft, Marcus – Language and Cognitive Processes, 1994
Reviews research that supports the view that readers strip prefixed words of their prefix and lexically assess the words on the basis of their stem. An experiment using real and nonword stems found that nonwords that are considered to be stem morphemes are treated as being more wordlike than those that are not. (36 references) (MDM)
