Current accounts of spoken language assume the existence of a lexicon where wordforms
are stored and interact during spoken language perception, understanding and production …

A large body of behavioral, neuroimaging, and electrophysiological studies have
investigated the consequences of co-activation of representations during word production …

Past research has demonstrated cross-linguistic, cross-modal, and task-dependent
differences in neighborhood density effects, indicating a need to control for neighborhood …

When multiple correlated predictors are considered jointly in regression modeling, estimated
coefficients may assume counterintuitive and theoretically uninterpretable values. We survey …

Frequent or contextually predictable words are often phonetically reduced, ie shortened and
produced with articulatory undershoot. Explanations for phonetic reduction of predictable …

Abstract Language-users reduce words in predictable contexts. Previous research indicates
that reduction may be stored in lexical representation if a word is often reduced. Because …

For nearly a century, linguists have suggested that diachronic merger is less likely between
phonemes with a high functional load–that is, phonemes that distinguish many words in the …

In amphichronic phonology, synchronic and diachronic explanation feed each other. The
architecture of grammar predicts the possible modes of implementation of phonological …

Variation across talkers in the acoustic-phonetic realization of speech sounds is a pervasive
property of spoken language. The present study provides evidence that variation across …

Millions of people engage in spoken interactions with voice activated artificially intelligent
(voice-AI) systems in their everyday lives. This study explores whether speakers have a …
