535 Assignment 17

Embick & Marantz, Longtin et al.

Due: Thursday, March 25, 2004

1. Marantz and Embick propose that the irregular/regular difference with respect to frequency effects can be captured even in a system with a rule-based approach to irregulars. What do they propose happens in the case of irregulars to produce this effect?

2.         Longtin et al. make a distinction between orthographically related and pseudo-derived words. In English, which relationship would the following pairs exhibit?
                   partner / part
                   planet / plan
                   entertain / enter
                   teeth / tea
                   window / wind
                   daisy / daze

3.        What is 'cross-modal' priming?

4.        The results of experiment 1 suggest that there is agressive morphological parsing very early on in the perception process. Why do the authors think that experiment 2 failed to reveal the effects of this parsing?
