A morphological family in Chinese is the set of compound words embedding a common morpheme. Self-organizing maps (SOM) of Chinese morphological families are built. Computation of the unified-distance matrices for the SOMs allows us to perform a semantic clustering of the members of the morphological families. Such a semantic clustering shed light on the interplay between morphology and semantics in Chinese. Then, we studied how the word lists used in a lexical decision task (LDT) are mapped onto the clusters of the SOMs. We showed that such a mapping is helpful to predict whether in a LDT repetitive processing of members of a morphological family would elicit a satiation - habituation - of both morphological and semantic units of the shared morpheme. In their LDT experiment, found evidence for morphological satiation but not for semantic satiation. Conclusions drawn from our computational experimentations and calculations are concordant with behavioral experimental results. We finally showed that our work could be helpful to linguists to prepare adequate word lists for the behavioral study of Chinese morphological families. |
