Over the last three decades, priming and masking experiments and corpus frequency studies have dominated attempts to find ranking in the decomposability of words containing morphological affixes. Here we establish feasibility of using another experimental probe based on audiovisually incongruent speech stimuli. In response to such stimuli, a proportion of participants report percepts that differ in place of articulation from either the audio or the visual signal, typically reporting percept /t/ when receiving audio /p/ dubbed onto visual /k/. We study the systematic variation of this proportion, the McGurk fusion rate, using a small corpus with affixes  -ing, -s, -er , and  -y/-ie  bound to simple English stems. We discuss experimental arrangements designed to ensure that participants are not experiencing confusion due to noisy signals, nor experiencing experimenter effects. Generally we find that embedding in a complex word lowers fusion rate, but the different affixes cause different amounts of lowering. We argue that fusion-rate lowering is a measure of the degree of decomposability, and relate this measure to others. These include measures derived from phonetic stress changes brought about by affixing and measures derived from relative frequencies of stem and affixed derived or inflected words in corpora.
