Evidence shows that certain complex words such as blends, monomorphemic words like 'corner', or intermediate categories do not consist of multiple morphemes, thereby refuting the claim that all complex words are polymorphemic.
The objective of this research is to describe the classification of numeral forms in the Jambi Malay Language. The method used in this research is descriptive. Sources of research data include oral data from informants and written data taken from a collection of Jambi folklore. Overall this research was conducted in two locations, namely the district of Muaro Jambi and Jambi city. The research data were in the form of words, phrases, and sentences containing Jambi Malay Language numeral forms. The techniques collection used include interview, observation, introspection, and elicitation techniques. Data analysis is done by distributional method through substitution, expansion, and permutation technique. The results of data analysis showed that the numeral forms of Jambi Malay Language can be classified into 2 forms namely: 1) Basic form that includes monomorphemic form and polymorphemic form. Both forms are classified based on the amount of morphemes. 2) Complex forms or derivatives are classified based on their morphological processes, i.e. forms of affixed and reduplication. Based on these results, it can be concluded that from the morphological and syntactic aspects, the numeral forms of Jambi Malay Language has its own classification which is different from other word forms.

The aim of this paper is to show that blends or portmanteau words form an intermediate category between monomorphemic and polymorphemic words. First, it will be shown that one must distinguish between two types of concatenations of portions of two words. On the one hand formations that combine the first portions of the two source words and on the other hand words in which the first part of the first source word is combined with the final part of the second. These last group are real blends. The first one is better called clipped compounds, complex clippings or stub compounds. Both groups show a righthand head. Clipped compounds appear to be a subcategory of compounds and follow the Compound Stress Rule. In blends the right part of the final form is also the head. However, blends copy the prosodic and syllabic structure of the second source word. Whereas compounds consist of at least two prosodic or phonological words, blends consist of only one. This leads to the conclusion that blends can best be described as an intermediate category between compounds and simplex words. Most of the examples described in this paper come from Dutch, however, some German and English examples are also discussed. Blending operates in a similar way in these languages. Therefore, the analysis presented here does not claim universal validity.
... complex word (e.g., corner, cashew) is activated directly from those form-level units, while the whole-word lemma for a polymorphemic word is activated indirectly through the lemmas for its component morphemes (see Figures 11.1 and 11.2) ...
Linguistic Morphology is a unique collection of cutting-edge research in the psycholinguistics of morphology, offering a comprehensive overview of this interdisciplinary field. This book brings together world-leading experts from linguisics, experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience to examine morphology research from different disciplines. It provides an overview of how the brain deals with complex words; examining how they are easier to read, how they affect our brain dynamics and eye movements, how they mould the acquisition of language and literacy, and how they inform computational models of the linguistic brain. Chapters discuss topics ranging from subconscious visual identification to the high-level processing of sentences, how children make their first steps with complex w
