Previous studies have found that priming a target like cerr-o (‘‘hill’’) with an unmasked stem-homograph (e.g., cerr-ar, ‘‘to close’’) or with an unmasked allomorph of a stem-homograph (e.g., cierr-a, ‘‘he/she/it closes’’) has an inhibitory effect on target recognition. We report evidence from stem-homograph priming studies that implicate both morphological parsing and lexical selection processes at the lemma level. We argue that stem-homograph inhibition is the product of lexical selection mechanisms that are engaged just when a fully ambiguous stimulus (here, an inflectional stem) must be assigned one of its viable interpretations in order to afford conscious perception of lexical identity.
