This study follows a line of research showing that native listeners of English tend to mishear phonotactically illicit alveolar-plus-lateral *[tl, dl] onsets as velar [kl, ɡl] (XXX). Evidence for accurate pre-phonological representations of these illicit strings is seen in early neurolinguistic representations (Breen, et al. 2013), and may be observable in behavioral data when speech is presented incrementally (Hallé, et al., 1998). These findings suggest that accurate pre-phonological representations are not supplanted by repaired forms until listeners project a syllable. The design utilizes a modified version of the gated transcription task used by Hallé, et al. (1998) to experimentally investigate the timecourse of phonotactic repair relative to phonological structure. We hypothesized that repairs would emerge only once participants projected syllable nuclei, with earlier gates preserving accurate transcriptions of illicit onset clusters. |
