| summary | This research project ambitions to eventually provide a model of lexical processing that complements and merges models of phonology mediated lexical access in the adult (e.g., Cohort based models, Magnuson, Mirman & Harris, 2012; Marslen-Wilson, 1987) and the child (Mayor & Plunkett, 2014) and models of child language development (e.g., PRIMIR, Werker & Curtin, 2005). The well-known differential processing of consonants and vowels (Nespor, Peña & Mehler, 2003) will be explored further to capture crosslinguistic and developmental differences (Research line 1, about phonological skeletons as a cue for lexical processing). Variety in the child’s language input, be it accents or different languages (e.g., PRIMIR model, Curtin, Byers-Heinlein & Werker, 2011), will be explored to test the proposal that this variety is not discrete (monolingual vs bilingual vs multilingual), but rather placed on a continuum (Research line 2). These two lines of research will be then formalised in a Cohort model of phonology mediated lexical processing that takes into account phonological (phonological skeletons) and input dependent (accents and multiple languages) aspects (Research line 3). |
