Most recently, Hay has propos ed a psycholinguistic model of morphological compl exity, according to which an affix which can be ea sily parsed out in processing should not occur ins ide an affix which cannot. This model has been cal led 'complexity based ordering'. The general claim is that affixes can be approximately ordered alon g a hierarchy of complexity, with more separable a ffixes at one end, and less separable affixes at t he other end. More separable affixes can attach ou tside less separable affixes, but not vice-versa. In this talk, Ingo Plag presents research that tested the predictions of complexity based orderin g through an investigation of 30 English suffixes and their potential combinations.

\n There is a long-standing debate about the principl es and\n mechanisms that constrain the comb inatorial properties of\n affixes, in parti cular of English suffixes. Most recently, Hay\n has proposed a psycholinguistic model of morp hological\n complexity, according to which an affix which can be easily\n parsed out i n processing should not occur inside an affix\n which cannot. This model has been called 'com plexity based\n ordering'. The general clai m is that affixes can be\n approximately or dered along a hierarchy of complexity, with\n more separable affixes at one end, and less sep arable affixes\n at the other end. More sep arable affixes can attach outside\n less se parable affixes, but not vice-versa.\n
