“…This finding adds to a growing body of research that suggests that fine-grained subphonemic information in the speech signal can modulate lexical activation, both in the recognition of individual words (Andruski, Blumstein, & Burton, 1994;Dahan, Magnuson, Tanenhaus, & Hogan, 2001;Marslen-Wilson & Warren, 1994;McQueen, Norris, & Cutler, 1999) and in the recognition of words in continuous speech (Gow, 2002;Gow & Gordon, 1995;Spinelli, McQueen, & Cutler, 2003;Tabossi et al, 2000). Our results are also consistent with Davis et al (2002), who showed that subphonemic cues can be used to resolve ambiguities caused by lexical embedding.…”
