AB The debate about whether compound words are accessed as whole words or via their constituents remains unresolved, especiallyin the field of language production. In this study, three experiments used a copying task to examine whether compound words areaccessed via their constituents in handwriting production. In Experiment 1, production of compound words and noncompoundswas compared. The last interletter interval within the first constituent of compounds was observed to be shorter than the sameinterval in noncompounds, revealing that writing durations are sensitive to morphological processing. In Experiments 2 and 3, thefirst and second constituent frequency was manipulated respectively. The frequency of both constituents affected writing onsettimes. Interestingly, the interval between the last two letters of the first constituent was shorter when the second constituent was ofhigh frequency, suggesting that the effect obtained in this position in Experiment 1 was related to the anticipation of the secondconstituent. Our findings indicate that both constituents are activated before the initiation of the written response and that thesecond component is reactivated before the production of the first constituent has finished.
