Vered Vaknin-Nusbaum; Bahaa' Makhoul – First Language, 2025
Reading acquisition in Arabic presents unique challenges, notably due to its complex morphological structure and the diglossic nature of the language. The discrepancy between written (Modern Standard) and spoken Arabic poses significant barriers for learners, particularly in decoding morphologically complex words. This study explored the role of…

Asadi, Ibrahim A.; Vaknin-Nusbaum, Vered; Taha, Haitham – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
We examined the role of morphological processing in the reading of inflections and derivations in Arabic, a morphologically-rich language, among 228 first-graders and 230 second-graders. All words were morphologically complex, with differences in number of morphemes and morphological transparency. Inflections consisted of three morphemes, with…

Grigorakis, Ioannis; Manolitsis, George – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
The purpose of this 3-year longitudinal study was to examine the role of three morphological awareness (MA) aspects (inflectional, derivational, and lexical compounding) in the spelling of specific morphemes. Two hundred and fifteen Greek children were followed from kindergarten (K) to grade 2 (G2). In K and grade 1 (G1) they were tested on…

Varga, Szilvia; Pásztor, Attila; Stekács, János – Journal of Intelligence, 2022
The aims of the study are to construct an online instrument to assess different aspects of morphological awareness and to examine its development and its relation to reading comprehension in grades 2-4 in Hungarian children. Altogether, 4134 students were tested. The online test evaluated inflectional, derivational, and compound morphological…

Torkildsen, Janne von Koss; Bratlie, Siri Steffensen; Kristensen, Jarl Kleppe; Gustafsson, Jan-Eric; Lyster, Solveig-Alma Halaas; Snow, Catherine; Hulme, Charles; Mononen, Riikka-Maija; Naess, Kari-Anne B.; López-Pedersen, Anita; Wie, Ona Bø; Hagtvet, Bente – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Morphemes, the smallest meaning-bearing units of language, recur in many words. Therefore, morphological knowledge can facilitate the comprehension of novel words. This study tested the effectiveness of a morphological training program on children's learning and retention of exposed words and morphologically related unexposed words compared with…

Jöbstl, Viktoria; Kargl, Reinhard; Prattes, Anna E.; Beyersmann, Elisabeth; Landerl, Karin – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2021
Morpheme-based literacy training programs are widely used in German primary schools. This study investigated whether (1) morphological training is effective early in development (Grade 2) and (2) literacy gains can be attributed to advanced morphological processing. Fifty-two German-speaking second-graders participated in an eight-week…
