Abstract
Research shows that structural priming effects are often supported by non-structural aspects of language, e.g., effects of animacy, semantic structure, shared phonology or others (see Ziegler et al., 2019). Morphology is one of the levels that can play a role, however, to our knowledge, it was addressed only in two studies that yield contradictory results (Basque – Santesteban et al., 2015; Korean – Chung & Lee, 2017).
Slavic languages can fill this gap. They are applicable for structural priming studies because of their partially free word order and suited for study morphological aspects because of their rich case endings morphology.
In Czech the same case can be encoded with different morphological endings in different nouns. In our research we addressed the question whether the repetition of the same morpheme used for marking a grammatical function can enhance the priming (morphological boost).
