The role of prepositions preceding inflected Serbo-Croatian Ns in specifying which particular grammatical case is intended & in stressing the N's function in the sentence is examined. In a lexical decision task administered to 2 groups of undergraduates (total = 99), it was demonstrated tha...

Summary:The role of prepositions preceding inflected Serbo-Croatian Ns in specifying which particular grammatical case is intended & in stressing the N's function in the sentence is examined. In a lexical decision task administered to 2 groups of undergraduates (total = 99), it was demonstrated that lexical decision times to Ns in a grammatical case that demands a preposition were faster when the preposition was appropriate to the case than when it was either inappropriate or a nonsense syllable. Findings support the intuition that priming can occur among sentential components. 2 Tables, 20 References. Modified HA
