Resumen

En este artículo presentamos dos experimentos de decisión léxica que examinan el rol de las variables de frecuencia de base y de la productividad de los sufijos derivativos en el reconocimiento visual de las palabras. En el primer experimento encontramos que las palabras complejas con sufijos derivativos productivos tardan menos tiempo en ser respondidas que aquellas otras con sufijos derivativos improductivos. Se observa también la falta de significación para la frecuencia de base. En el experimento dos se lleva a cabo la misma metodología pero con pseudopalabras, mostrando que cuando éstas están compuestas por sufijos derivativos productivos tardan más tiempo en ser rechazadas que cuando están compuestas por sufijos derivativos improductivos. De nuevo la variable de frecuencia de base no alcanza valor significativo. Estos resultados respaldan la visión de que los sufijos derivativos tienen un rol relevante en el reconocimiento visual de las palabras complejas. De acuerdo a nuestros resultados, los sufijos derivativos crean las condiciones para tomar un candidato como una entrada léxica legal y por lo tanto contribuyen decisivamente a la decisión léxica. Estos resultados se interpretan finalmente a la luz de estudios previos centrados en las mismas variables.
