When You Hear /Bakset/ Do You Think /Basket/? Evidence for Transposed-Phoneme Effect with Multisyllabic Words
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dufour, Sophie; Grainger, Jonathan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
In this study we asked whether nonwords created by transposing two phonemes (/biks[open-mid back rounded vowel]t/) are perceived as being more similar to their base words (/bisk[open-mid back rounded vowel]t/) than nonwords created by substituting two phonemes (/bipf[open-mid back rounded vowel]t/). Using the short-term phonological priming and a…

On the Relationship between Perception and Production of L2 Sounds: Evidence from Anglophones' Processing of the French /u/-/y/ Contrast
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Melnik-Leroy, Gerda Ana; Turnbull, Rory; Peperkamp, Sharon – Second Language Research, 2022
Previous studies have yielded contradictory results on the relationship between perception and production in second language (L2) phonological processing. We re-examine the relationship between the two modalities both within and across processing levels, addressing several issues regarding methodology and statistical analyses. We focus on the…

Graphemic Cohesion Effect in Reading and Writing Complex Graphemes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Spinelli, Elsa; Kandel, Sonia; Guerassimovitch, Helena; Ferrand, Ludovic – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2012
"AU" /o/ and "AN" /a/ in French are both complex graphemes, but they vary in their strength of association to their respective sounds. The letter sequence "AU" is systematically associated to the phoneme /o/, and as such is always parsed as a complex grapheme. However, "AN" can be associated with either one…

Better Processing of Consonantal over Vocalic Information in Word Learning at 16 Months of Age
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Havy, Melanie; Nazzi, Thierry – Infancy, 2009
Previous research using the name-based categorization task has shown that 20-month-old infants can simultaneously learn 2 words that only differ by 1 consonantal feature but fail to do so when the words only differ by 1 vocalic feature. This asymmetry was taken as evidence for the proposal that consonants are more important than vowels at the…

Syllable Frequency Effects in Visual Word Recognition: Developmental Approach in French Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Maionchi-Pino, Norbert; Magnan, Annie; Ecalle, Jean – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, 2010
This study investigates the syllable's role in the normal reading acquisition of French children at three grade levels (1st, 3rd, and 5th), using a modified version of Cole, Magnan, and Grainger's (1999) paradigm. We focused on the effects of syllable frequency and word frequency. The results suggest that from the first to third years of reading…

Differing Sequences of Metaphonological Development in French and English
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Duncan, Lynne G.; Cole, Pascale; Seymour, Philip H. K.; Magnan, Annie – Journal of Child Language, 2006
Phonological awareness is thought to become increasingly analytic during early childhood. This study examines whether the proposed developmental sequence (syllable[right arrow]onset-rime[right arrow]phoneme) varies according to the characteristics of a child's native language. Experiment 1 compares the phonological segmentation skills of English…
