Description
Phonological neighborhood density has been widely investigated as a metric for lexical competition. However, previous studies tend to focus on a count of neighbors based on single phoneme differences. We aim to see whether individual features have an effect on the predictive power of phonological neighborhood density. We present novel analysis of the Massive Auditory Lexical Decision database and our own tests, comparing feature based analysis to traditional one change rule counts of phonological neighborhood density.
