Abstract

The effective units and time course of phonological encoding in Mandarin word production were investigated. Participants named pictures in Mandarin while distracting characters were presented before, at, or after picture onset. Results suggest that both syllables and sub-syllabic units play important roles, and that syllabic processing precedes sub-syllabic processing.
