Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1994

Phonological neighbourhoods in the developing lexicon

Journal of Child Language, 2003
Structural analyses of developing lexicons have provided evidence for both children's holistic lexical representations and sensitivity to phonetic segments.

Perspectives on phonological development

2019
The chapter characterizes language as a system of links or associations and states the goal of gaining understanding of the origins of systematicity in the child. A working definition of ‘template’ is followed by an account of early accuracy followed by later regression in early phonological development, concomitants of emergent system-building.
