Berent, Iris; Perfetti, Charles A. – Psychological Review, 1995
A model of phonological assembly is proposed that postulates a multilineal representation that segregates consonants and vowels in different planes. This representation determines the online process of assembly. Claims of the model are supported by a series of English-masking and English-priming experiments involving about 175 college students.…

Ades, Anthony E. – Psychological Review, 1977
Attempts to account for many of the differences between vowels and consonants and between speech and nonspeech, in terms of the range of the contexts in which they are set. Explanations of the different overall levels of discriminability in vowels and consonants in various tasks in terms of their "encodedness" are replaced by a general model…

Johnson, Dale D.; Venezky, Richard L. – 1975
This study was designed to explore relationships between type and token frequencies and contextual position effects; specifically, the major question was whether or not vowel cluster pronunciation preferences of adult readers were more affected by frequency of occurrence than by graphemic environment. Two opposing hypotheses were tested regarding…

Taraban, Roman; Roark, Bret – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1996
In this study, non-French participants learned gender-appropriate adjectives for 24 French nouns. Findings indicate that learning the same set of feminine French nouns could be made more or less difficult when the nouns in the masculine category created more or less competition.

Salza, Pier Luigi – Rassegna Italiana di Linguistica Applicata, 1986
Analysis of the distributional properties of non-syllabic vowels within word boundaries in Italian demonstrates: the role of phonological constraints on the distribution of non-syllabic words; the syllabification possibilities within each type of sequence by setting up a structural model; and the phonemic occurrences in vowel sequences collected…

Sprenger-Charolles, Liliane; Siegel, Linda S. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1997
Tested the hypothesis that phonological mediation plays a critical role in the early development of reading and spelling in French. The findings corroborated predictions regarding performance involving pseudowords of different syllablic structures except for the failure to find differences between open and closed syllables. Results confirmed the…
