The visual word recognition literature has been dominated by the study of monosyllabic
words in factorial experiments, computational models, and megastudies. However, it is not …

In the speech production model proposed by [Levelt, WJM, Roelofs, A., Meyer, AS (1999). A
theory of lexical access in speech production. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 22, pp. 1–75.] …

Three naming experiments were conducted to examine the role of the first and the second
syllable during speech production in Spanish. Facilitative effects of syllable frequency with …

Models of speech production assume that syllables play a functional role in the process of
word-form encoding in speech production. In this study, we investigate this claim and …

Most studies on reading have been conducted with English-speaking subjects. It is crucial to
also examine studies conducted in different languages, in order to highlight which aspects of …

This research focused on the syllable as a processing unit in handwriting. Participants wrote,
in uppercase letters, words that had been visually presented. The interletter intervals provide …

Four experiments investigated the role of the syllable in Chinese spoken word production.
Chen, Chen and Ferrand (2003) reported a syllable priming effect when primes and targets …

Convergent evidence suggests that syllables play a primary and distinctive role in the
phonological phase of Mandarin Chinese word production. Specifically, syllables are …

Current models of word production assume that words are stored as linear sequences of
phonemes which are structured into syllables only at the moment of production. This is …

Theories of language production generally describe the segment as the basic unit in
phonological encoding (eg, Dell, 1988; Levelt, Roelofs, & Meyer, 1999). However, there is …
