morphological processing, morphotactic and morphosemantic transparency, Croatian

Sažetak
This study deals with the way speakers process motivated in relation to unmotivated words, and whether they recognize differences in morphotactic and morphosemantic transparency of motivated words. 101 adult native speakers of Croatian participated in the study, with an average age of 31, 98 years. Results show that there is no difference in the accuracy of identification of morphological units between participants with a secondary (high school) and higher (university) education level. Furthermore, participants tend to prefer synonymy and morphological motivation when assessing relatedness between words (rather than antonymy or hyperonymy/hyponymy). Also, morphotactically transparent words facilitate the identification of suffixes. Finally, MS transparency had a facilitating effect in identifying word-formation relatedness between words, while MT transparency did not show the same effect.
