PREFIXES AND PREFIXED WORDS ARE ONE OF THE WAYS TO ENRICH THE VOCABULARY BASE OF THE LANGUAGE

Abstract

In order to provide prefixed words' morphological representations structure, this article introduces prefix transparency and phonological consistency. Despite the fact that various research have examined the significance of root semantics in the encoding
of morphological information, none have examined the semantic transparency of affixes and their contribution to the overall representation of the word. Although the degree of phonological overlap between morphologically related words has been
evaluated in earlier studies, the effect of a phonological alternation on the identification of morphemes with a task that does not present both forms of the root has not yet been investigated.
