Taft and Forster (1975) enriched serial search models of lexical access with a prefixstripping module, hypothesizing that prefixal morphology is functional in the sense that it leads to more efficient lexical processing. A detailed investigation of the lexical statistics of prefixation and pseudo-prefixation in English and Dutch shows, however, that the addition of a prefix stripping module to a serial search model leads to a substantial decrease in its processing efficiency, defined as the number of search steps required for accessing words in the mental lexicon. This reversal is attributed to the high token frequencies with which pseudo-prefixed words occur. We also briefly discuss and compare the lexical statistics of a similar model in which obligatory segmentation takes place, the metrical segmentation theory proposed by Cutler and Norris (1988). Methodological implications for the testing of psychological models of language processing are discussed. @ 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
