Researchers agree that comprehenders regularly predict upcoming language, but they do
not always agree on what prediction is (and how to differentiate it from integration) or what …

A Bayesian model of continuous speech recognition is presented. It is based on Shortlist (D.
Norris, 1994; D. Norris, JM McQueen, A. Cutler, & S. Butterfield, 1997) and shares many of …

The Routledge Linguistics Encyclopedia is a single-volume encyclopedia covering all major
and subsidiary areas of linguistics and applied linguistics. The 79 entries provide in-depth …

This study demonstrates that listeners use lexical knowledge in perceptual learning of
speech sounds. Dutch listeners first made lexical decisions on Dutch words and nonwords …

Recent work (Vitevitch & Luce, 1998) investigating the role of phonotactic information in
spoken word recognition suggests the operation of two levels of representation, each having …

The author introduces the L2 Linguistic Perception (L2LP) model, a new formal and
comprehensive proposal which integrates, synthesizes, and improves on previous studies …

Phonotactic probability refers to the frequency with which phonological segments and
sequences of phonological segments occur in words in a given language. We describe one …

This paper focuses on the cognitive and neural mechanisms of speech perception: the rapid,
and highly automatic processes by which complex time-varying speech signals are …

Adults' performance on a variety of tasks suggests that phonological processing of nonwords
is grounded in generalizations about sublexical patterns over all known words. A small body …

This research examines the issue of speech segmentation in 9-month-old infants. Two cues
known to carry probabilistic information about word boundaries were investigated …
