| Abstract | Conducted 2 experiments in which 112 undergraduates made rapid lexical decisions about inflected nouns preceded by inflected adjectives or pseudoadjectives that did or did not agree grammatically. Both adjectives and pseudoadjectives were shown to affect lexical decision times for nouns, suggesting that the priming of inflected nouns by inflected adjectives occurred at the level of the inflections. Inflected pseudonouns, however, were not affected similarly, suggesting that lexical factors were contributing to the priming in addition to grammatical factors. This instance of grammatical priming is described as an effect that arises postlexically, based on the outcomes of relatively independent lexical and syntactical processors. |
