Sonority as a Constraint on Word Identification Processes.

Christman, Sarah S.; DePaolis, Rory A.

Applied Psycholinguistics, v17 n3 p273-91 Sep 1996

Explores the role of sonority in constraining the word identification errors of normal listeners by examining the phonological relationships between response errors and stimulus targets. Findings indicate that sonority and lexical phonostatistics may constrain coda-driven word-search processes. (35 references) (Author/CK)
