The role of morphological structure in word recognition was studied in two experiments using a lexical decision task. In Experiment 1, RTs to affixed derived words of medium and low surface frequency were studied as a function of their cumulative root frequency. Results show that cumulative root frequency determines the latencies to suffixed words but not to prefixed words. In Experiment 2, it was shown that RTs to derived suffixed words belonging to the same morphological family (i.e., words sharing a same root) vary as a function of their relative whole word frequency. The asymmetry in the role of cumulative root frequency for prefixed and suffixed words is interpreted with reference to the different sequential morphological organization of these two types of words (Affix + Root) versus (Root + Affix). It is proposed that only suffixed words are accessed via the root. In the recognition of these words access to the root implies access to the corresponding morphological family. The members of the family are then examined in a frequency-ordered search.
