English past tense morphology revisited:A generative-psycholinguistic perspective
Is rule-based processing and acquisition psycho-linguistically real for EFL learners? To explore this, the paper reports two psycholinguistic experiments investigating the processing mechanism of regular English past tense morphology by Chinese EFL learners and how it is influenced by their foreign language proficiencies. The first is a visual masked priming experiment designed to explore whether and to what extent our learners process the morphological structure online in their mental lexicon. The critical regular primes include two frequency ranges with the lower range of the replication of stimuli list in the experiment one in Silva and Clahsen (2008) and the newly designed high frequency ranges of primes.
