In psycholinguistics, specific research questions are studied and some of them can be related to those studied in linguistics: • Knowledge of components within complex words and their decomposition, which main purpose is to study how the complex words are processed and recorded in brain and then to make hypotheses on how these words are decoded and produced by speakers.
it has been demonstrated that several factors can facilitate reading and production of complex words: hyphenation (Bertram et al., 2011), space character (Frisson et al., 2008), presence of other morphologically related words (Lüttmann et al., 2011), use of primes (Bozic et al., 2007;Beyersmann et al., 2012), of pictures (Dohmes et al., 2004;Koester and Schiller, 2011) and of supportive contexts (Cain et al., 2009); • Order of components and variety of morphological patterns, which focus on the position of the components.
