Dissertation Abstract:
This study investigated selected aspects of children's knowledge of
complex derived words of English. The term "quot;complex derived
words" refers to those word pairs which involve systematic sound
changes of the base word in its suffixed derived form, as in
relate-relation. The two purposes of the research study were:
1. to investigate changes in knowledge that children between the ages
of eight and seventeen have acquired with respect to certain complex
word derivational processes.
2. to investigate the relation of the changes in children's word
derivational knowledge to their achievement in various aspects of
reading. A longer Abstract and the full text of this dissertation are
