“…From this example it is clear that within this theory, phonetic information at the beginning of 'NOrds is vital in establ ishing an initial cohort of lexical candidates from which a 'NOrd will ultimately be selected. Several studies have supported the importance of word-initial information in lexical aeeess (Cole, 1973;Nooteboom, 1981).…”

“…The first is that a perceptual theory avoids unnecessary 'doubling' of devices. It is known that normal language users are perfectly well able to monitor the speech of others for phonetic, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic properties and for distortions (cf., Cohen, 1980;Cole, 1973;Cole and Jakinick 1980;Foss, 1969;Marslen-Wilson and Tyler, 1980;Marslen-Wilson and Welsh, 1978, among others). It is more economical from the theoretical point of view, to assume that the same capabilities are used in monitoring one's own inner or overt speech.…”

Monitoring and self-repair in speech

1983

Making a self-repair in speech typically proceeds in three phases. The first phase involves the monitoring of one's own speech and the interruption of the flow of speech when trouble is detected. From an analysis of 959 spontaneous self-repairs it appears that interrupting follows detection promptly, with the exception that correct words tend to be completed. Another finding is that detection of trouble improves towards the end of constituents. The second phase is characterized by hesitation, pausing, but especially the use of so-called editing terms. Which editing term is used depends on the nature of the speech trouble in a rather regular fashion: Speech errors induce other editing terms than words that are merely inappropriate, and trouble which is detected quickly by the speaker is preferably signalled by the use of 'uh'. The third phase consists of making the repair proper. The linguistic well-formedness of a repair is not dependent on the speaker's respecting the integriv of constituents, but on the structural relation between original utterance and repair. A bi-conditional well-formedness rule links this relation to a corresponding relation between the conjuncts of a coordination. It is suggested that a similar relation holds also between question and answer. In all three cases the speaker respects certain Istructural commitments derived from an original utterance. It was finally shown that the editing term plus the first word of the repair proper almost always contain sufficient information for the listener to decide how the repair should be related to the original utterance. Speakers almost never produce misleading information in this respect.It is argued that speakers have little or no access to their speech production process; self-monitoring is probably based on parsing one's own inner or overt speech.*I am indebted to Ger Desserjer, Irma van Loon, and Marion Keiren who assisted substantially in coding and data analysis, and to Peter Rahncr who developed the computer analysis programs. I acknowledge many helpful comments from Eve

They further "suggest that the pervasiveness of onset salience, expressing itself not only in auditory comprehension but in reading as well, and in parallel effects in speech production, argues that the importance of the temporal structure of words in their mental representation extends beyond the auditory access code."…”
