The objective of the present study is to verify the derivation of M-implicature(Levinson, 2000) by hybrid words. According to Levinscon(2000), when an expression is marked or non-stereotypical, the recipients assume that the reference is marked or non-stereotypical, and hybrid words are supposed to be marked and to cause M-implicature in current research. In order to examine the cognitive process of the interpretation of marked expressions, gaze fixations are observed by using an eye tracker. The reading time and the number of times that expressions are read by the subjects were predicted to differ by the markedness of the expressions presented in the experiments. Consequently, in the results, the difference in the recognition of marked words and unmarked alternatives is considered to confirm the generation of M-implicature in current research
