Abstract

Research in speech production has almost exclusively focused on Indo-European languages. The present article summarizes recent work in Chinese speech production and points out how it contributes to our understanding of speech production in the language as well as in general. The Levelt-type model of speech production and its computer implementation, WEAVER++, were chosen as the target for investigation. Specifically, the models postulations about the word form encoding processes were scrutinized to see if they hold valid in Chinese. A series of experiments revealed that (1) morphological encoding is at best minimally involved in Chinese speech production, and (2) phonological syllables (segmental syllables) in Chinese may be stored linguistic units which are retrieved during word production.

Keywords:morphological encoding, phonological encoding, syllables
