Morphological Processing in Late L2 Learn ers

The issue of va riability in processing morphologically complex words has been investiga ted in relation to the specific processing patterns second language (L2) users adopt. While several studies report lack of sensitivity to morpho logical structure in late L2 learners (Bowden et al., 2010; Neubauer &am p; Clahsen, 2009; Silva & Clahsen 2008), some reveal similar process ing patterns in native and non-native speakers despite overall slower re action times (RTs) in L2 participants (Basnight-Brown et al., 2007; Coug hlin &Tremblay, 2015; Diependaele et al., 2011; Feldman et al., 2010 ; Foote 2017). In the present study, proficient L2 speakers’ processing of English past tense morphology was investigated to understand whether their processing patterns were comparable with that of native speakers o f English. In a masked priming task, the RTs for regular and irregular v erbs were measured. The study also sought to explore whether working mem ory (WM) has any relationship with L2 morphological processing. Comparab le processing patterns in native and nonnative groups obtained in the pr esent study do not support earlier views that late L2 learners are less sensitive to the morphological structure of the target language compared to native speakers. Despite the lack of qualitative differences in proc essing, quantitative differences were found in the form of slower RTs in the L2 English group. While no correlation was found between the morpho logical processing patterns and WM in either participant group, a negati ve relationship was found between the WM scores and the speed of word re cognition in the L2 group.
