Preference and processing: the role of speech affect in early spoken word recognition
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to assess the influence of speech on early lexical processing by determining whether infant's preference for positive vocal affect does indeed facilitate spoken word recognition. Results show that early processing advantages do not necessarily follow listening preferences, rather infants early lexical representations appear to be dominated by covarying properties of experienced exemplars.

Phonological phrase boundaries constrain lexical access I. Adult data
Article Abstract:
The effect of local lexical ambiguities while manipulating the type of prosodic boundary at which the ambiguity occurred, using French sentences and participants is tested. The results obtained using two different on-line tasks like word-monitoring and phonememonitoring suggest that the lexical access could occur within the domain of phonological phrases.

Phonological phrase boundaries constrain lexical access II. Infant data
Article Abstract:
Four infant studies are presented where the cues to phonological phrase boundaries are manipulated in order to study the phonological phrase boundaries. Results indicate that the phonological phrase boundaries constrain on-line lexical access in infants and infants may use cues to phonological phrase boundaries and segment connected speech.
