Keywords:four-kanji-compound word, priming effect, independent and combination words

In this study, we examine the recognition process of different types of four-kanji-compound word and the relation between the first part of jukugo and its whole.
We examined the relation between first part of jukugo and its whole by the use of priming paradigm, where the subjects were asked to make lexical decisions as in the previous study(Hirose.1994). The first part of jukogos were divided into four conditions: independent words of seigo, independent words of kanyogo, combination words of seigo and control. The results showed that the effect of the type was significant. An activation was found if the words of four conditions were presented as prime stimulus. That means the RT becomes shorter in the order of control, independence words of kanyogo, independence words of seigo and combination words of seigo. That means the relation between the two parts of jukugo is weak in kanyogo.
