The image displays a diagram comparing two hypotheses regarding language processing. It consists of two vertical flowcharts arranged side-by-side on a white background. The text is in black, and the process steps are enclosed in light lavender-blue rounded rectangular boxes connected by thin black lines.

On the left side is the "Split-Morphology Hypothesis."
At the very top is the word "Concept" with a vertical line extending downward.
This line connects to a box labeled "Morphological Processing I".
From there, a line goes down to a box labeled "Syntactic Processing".
Below that is another box labeled "Morphological Processing II".
Following that is a box labeled "Phonological Processing".
Finally, an arrow points downward from the last box to the text "Surface Word" at the bottom.

On the right side is the "Single Component Hypothesis."
At the top is the word "Concept" with a vertical line extending downward.
This connects to a single box labeled "Morphological Processing". Note that this box does not have a Roman numeral like the one on the left.
From there, a line goes down to a box labeled "Syntactic Processing".
Below that is a box labeled "Phonological Processing".
Finally, an arrow points downward from this box to the text "Surface Word" at the bottom.

Both flowcharts end with the same result: "Surface Word." The key difference shown is that the left hypothesis splits morphological processing into two distinct stages (I and II) separated by syntactic processing, whereas the right hypothesis treats morphological processing as a single component before syntactic processing.
