The present study focused on how morphemes are coded for positions in the word recognition system. The experiment was conducted to investigate whether stem morphemes are sensitive to morpheme positional distribution. Masked priming strategies were used to observe facilitation effects. Compound words were selected as targets, while the conditions comprised three different stimuli. The results showed that transposed morpheme conditions facilitate the identification of target words, showing that the stem representations are flexible in position coding. The syllable transposition effect is comparable to the absence of syllable transposition effect in the previous studies. Further studies are needed using longer multisyllabic words.
