Suffi

xed and prefi

xed words have common linguistic properties and are

closely related to the base word in the mental lexicon. Whether diff

erent types of

information are important for the storage of diff

erent types of derivatives or whether

their mental organisation is similar are currently relevant questions in psycholinguistics.

My experimental data point at diff

erent ways of storing related verbs in the mental

lexicon, linked to the base word through two derivational processes. Between the stem

and the suffi

xed relative, the relationship is closer and is based on common lexical

properties, while the relationship between the stem and the prefi

x is rather formal.

I draw this conclusion on the basis of the robust morphological priming eff

ect from the

suffi

xed verb to its base even if the spelling integrity of the suffi

xed relative is violated.

This is true only in the condition of an orthographically preserved root morpheme. On

the contrary, the priming eff

ect to the base verb disappears from a related verb with an

orthographically violated prefi

x. Furthermore, both suffi

xation and prefi

xation do not

act uniformly and a closer look suggests that lexical organisation is modifi

ed through

the aspectual information of family members. This information will need to be taken

into account in future studies of verbal material of the Russian language.
