Abstract:

How language users from different linguistic backgrounds cope with forms of
complexity is still a territory with many unanswered questions. The current
book is concerned with morphologically and syntactically complex items, that
is, derivatives, inflected forms, compounds, phrases and forms related by
agreement and examines how these constructions are acquired and learned in a
great range of different languages, such as Turkish, Welsh, Basque and
Catalan. Relying on a variety of methodologies targeting production or
comprehension, among others, lexical decision and priming experiments, an EEG
study, a corpus analysis and a reading test, the authors consider data from
native speakers mastering one or more languages and second-language users.
Overall, the volume reflects upon and contributes to our understanding of how
the pecularities of language and its users affect the learnability of complex
forms.
