Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on the central research question of how
Mandarin compound words are represented during language production.
Specifically, it examines whether compound words are stored in the
mental lexicon in a decomposed or holistic manner. If decomposition
occurs during production, at what level does it take place? Are the
storage mechanisms at the lemma and lexeme levels-two stages in
lexical selection-distinct? According to the theoretical model
proposed by Levelt et al. (1999), decomposition of compound words can
occur at either the lemma or lexeme levels during lexical selection.
To explore the representation of Mandarin compound words during
lexical selection, this dissertation investigates two primary
hypotheses: the morphological decomposition hypothesis and the
full-listing hypothesis. The former posits that compound words are
represented in the mental lexicon through their constituent morphemes,
which play a role in lexical retrieval. In contrast, the latter
asserts that compound words are stored as whole units, negating the
involvement of morphemes in lexical retrieval. The aim of this
research is to uncover how Mandarin Chinese compound words are
represented at the two levels of lexical selection during speech
production.
