Two cross-modal experiments were conducted to investigate the format of lexical representation of suffixed derived words and their stems. The results show that only low frequency suffixed words (as opposed to high frequency suffixed words) yield a full priming effect of their stems. By contrast, a stem (e.g., travail) does not fully prime words belonging to the same morphological family (e.g., travailleur), although it primes high frequency suffixed words more than it does low frequency words. To account for these findings we propose a model in which the stem and high frequency affixed words are represented both as full forms and as decomposed morphemes while low frequency affixed words are represented only in a decomposed form.
