The aim of the present study was to compare the phonological errors that occur in the speech of two 12-year-old Greek children with profound hearing loss. The first child used a cochlear implant (CI) and the second one used hearing aids (HA). The children’s phonological development has been assessed using the Phonetic and Phonological Development Test (PPDT), (Levandi et al. 1995). In alignment...

Learning to read involves cross-modal binding processes, that is, the association between visual and phonological information in the mapping of written forms (graphemes) to phonological codes. The present study examined visual-phonological binding in a memory binding task, comparing a group of children with dyslexia with a control group of typical readers, matched for age, grade, and sex. Child...

This paper explores the idea that certain locality effects on phonologically conditioned allomorphy and external sandhi processes can be explained by the locality of production planning. The first part of this paper presents evidence for this hypothesis based on locality effects in phonological conditions on the choice of allomorph of the affix /ing/ between [in] and [iN]. A second and more spe...

Two connectionist models are reported that simulated the defining features of the double dissociation between phonological and surface dyslexia in word reading. One model was a feed-forward, three-layer perceptron, and the other included recurrent connections. Neither model contained an architectural separation of sublexical and lexical processes, nor of phonological and semantic processes. Ana...

Two connectionist models are reported that mimicked the defining features of the double dissociation between phonological and surface dyslexia in word reading. One model was a feed-forward, three-layer perceptron, and the other included recurrent connections. Neither model contained an architectural separation of sublexical and lexical processes, nor of phonological and semantic processes. Anal...

Language production comprises conceptual, grammatical, and word form encoding as well as articulation. This paper focuses on word form or phonological encoding. Phonological encoding in speech production can be subdivided into a number of sub-processes such as segmental, metrical, and syllabic encoding. Each of these processes is briefly described and illustrated with examples from my own resea...

Research into spoken word production has often focused on the interaction of lexical selection processes and phonological planning. Less attention has been given to the relationship between phonological planning and articulatory processes. The current study considers evidence from the tongue twister paradigm to investigate such potential interactions. Acoustic analyses of various parameters of ...
