languages, but relatively little research has examined languages with non-alphabetic …

Contextual similarity between targets and competitors, whether semantic or phonological,
often leads to behavioral interference in language production. It has been assumed that …

Adaptive models of word production hold that lexical processing is shaped by recent
production episodes. In particular, the models proposed by Howard et al.(2006) and …

Grammatical encoding refers to the processes involved in organizing a non-linguistic
