An eye-tracking experiment examined the recognition of novel and
lexicalized compound words during sentence reading. The frequency of the
head noun in modifier-head compound words was manipulated to tap into
the degree of compositional processing. This was done separately for
long (12–16 letter) and short (7-9 letters) compound words. Based on the
dual-route race model (Pollatsek et al., 2000) and the visual acuity
principle (Bertram & Hyönä, 2003), long lexicalized and novel
compound words were predicted to be processed via the decomposition
route and short lexicalized compound words via the holistic route. Gaze
duration and selective regression-path duration demonstrated a
constituent frequency effect of similar size for long lexicalized and
novel compound words. For short compound words the constituent frequency
effect was negligible for lexicalized words but robust for novel words.
The results are consistent with the visual acuity principle that
assumes long novel compound words to be recognized via the decomposition
route and short lexicalized compound words via the holistic route.
