Some methodological considerations...

After reviewing some more of the literature, including some newer stuff, I've realized that to be able to properly speak to psycholinguistic research and theoretical linguistic stuff, I've got to include an oral production component in the study.

I realized that if the linguistically-minded people were talking about morphological variability in oral production, then I couldn't simply use written production to speak to that evidence-wise.

The thing now is that I am considering using:
1. oral fill-in-blanks/cloze passage (which would focus on features analysed in lexical decision, and written tasks)
2. elicit narrative (which would just get at what they produce naturally)
3. both (which would give me a lot of data to work with!)

Thoughts?
