  • base

Example

  • Hay argues based on a series of experiments on English that when a derived word is more frequent than its morphological base (e.g. English illegible vs. legible) it is more likely to be accessed through a direct route during processing (direct access to illegible rather than access via inand legible) and thus more likely to be treated as a single unit phonologically and more likely to develop independent semantics. (Zuraw, 2006)
  • Reduplication is a morphological process that repeats the morphological base fully or partially (Kiparsky 1987; Haspelmath 2002). (Kabiri, Karimi & Surdeanu, 2022)
