Compounding, constructing new words out of previously known words by means of
simple concatenation mostly, can be counted as one of the major word production
mechanisms in the majority of languages. Their importance in the history of human
languages warrants a detailed study with respect to the language faculty and related
cognitive aspects. In the last decade, compound production as well as comprehension
have become highly debated and investigated areas of research. Morphological
priming is one frequently employed paradigm for the investigation of compounding.
Whether morphologically complex words undergo a decomposition-composition
process, respectively, during comprehension and production or whether they are all
