Abstrakt     The present study is concerned with two Slovenian-speaking patienls who were asked to produce, in various tasks, verbs, nouns, and adjectives derived by prefixation with prepositions. Despite differenccs due to their specific linguistic difficulties, both patients' performance was characterized by the differential processing of prefixes and remaining components of complex words. Prepositions in pretixation were mostly preserved, and less frequently substituted, regardless of the numerous errors produced in the remaining portion of the words. Thcse errors seem clearly determined by the morphological structure of the words and therefore appear to be authentic morphological errors. These findings contribute to the theoretical debate on mental lexical representation, speaking in favor of a morphological decomposition in processing of prefixed complex words at different processing levels.
