Deriving Word Meanings through Morphological Generalization
IN THIS STUDY the extent to which morphological generalization can account for increases in vocabulary size was investigated. Focusing specifically on morphological generalization with derivational suffixes, the study tested students' ability to use morphological and contextual information to determine the meaning of unknown words. Students in the fourth, sixth, and eighth grades were randomly assigned to receive training in one of two word sets.…
