Acquiring novel words and their past tenses: Evidence from lexical effects on phonetic categorisation (2011)
Journal Article
Lindsay, S., Sedin, L. M., & Gaskell, M. G. (2012). Acquiring novel words and their past tenses: Evidence from lexical effects on phonetic categorisation. Journal of Memory and Language, 66(1), 210-225. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2011.07.005

Two experiments addressed how novel verbs come to be represented in the auditory input lexicon, and how the inflected forms of such novel words are acquired and recognised. Participants were introduced to new spoken forms as uninflected verbs. These... Read More about Acquiring novel words and their past tenses: Evidence from lexical effects on phonetic categorisation.
