#Abstract
The aim of this work is to understand the effects of pleonastic affixation on the processing of words constructed in European Portuguese. The pleonastic affixation under focus consists on isocategorial multiple affixation of evaluative type, actualised by means of, at least, three affixes working on evaluative formation. The results presented in this work come from a comparative study on the processing of several kinds of multiple affixation, developed by Rodrigues (2016a) and Rodrigues (in publication). The study considers as a base the word-formation patterns that are productive in contemporary European Portuguese (Rio-Torto et al. 2016) and it has as a theoretical support the multiple-route model by Kuperman et al. (2010). The study is founded on the analysis of corpora (Corpus de Referência do Português Contemporâneo and Linguateca) as well as on experiments (lexical decision task and recall task), realised with native speakers of European Portuguese. Those experiments permit us to establish psycholinguistic factors that condition the limits of the extension of multiple affixation. From those factors, we focus on the frequency of the affix combination, the semantic transparency of the combination, the affix salience and the expectedness both of the affix combination and of its semantics (Bell & Schäfer 2016; Rodrigues 2016a; Rodrigues (in publication), by means of comparing the processing of frequent and non-frequent words with multiple affixation, either with heterocategorial affix combinations or with isocategorial affix combinations. In the recall task, the obtained results concerning non-frequent evaluative words present a contrast in relation with results concerning non-frequent heterocategorial words. That contrast is a consequence of the semantic transparency of evaluative words, which is absent from non-frequent heterocategorial words. Our study reveals that, although both types of words have low frequency, evaluative words are more easily recalled than those that contain heterocategorial affixation, owing to the semantic priming effect caused by the semantic similitude (cf. Bell & Schäfer (2013; 2016) on compounding processing) between the evaluative affixes that constitute the word with isocategorial affixation. Following Bell & Schäfer (2013; 2016) on their study in compounding, the semantic priming effect increases the expectedness of the semantics of the affix combination, which favours the processing of the word.
