Two experiments were conducted to investigate how kanjis were located in the memory structure of jukugo (two-kanji-compound word). In a previous study (Hirose, 1992b), it was suggested that the lexicon of jukugo was formed in such a structure that several jukugos containing a common first kanji were together, based on the first kanji. The present experiment was carried out using priming paradigms, as in the previous study, where the subjects were asked to make lexical decisions. Kanjis were divided into two types, independence words or combination words. The results showed that if an independence word was presented as prime stimulus, an activation to its jukugos was not observed. However, an activation was found if a combination word was presented as prime stimulus. Therefore it was inferred that the kanji as an independence word was memorized independently, whereas the kanji as a combination word was memorized in such a structure that was suggested in Hirose (1992b).
