Further work to be undertaken includes the rerunning of the experiment with further input transcriptions containing pseudo-random typical phoneme perception errors and the inclusion of further test sentences designed to yield a 'phoneticallybalanced' corpus. In addition, the relative internal dlscriminability (in tmmm of further phonological and 'higher-lever syntactic and semantic constraims) of the word candidates in the varying cohorts generated with the different strategies should be exandned.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="1"> The importance of mai~ng use of a dictionary database with a realistic vocabulary size in order to evaluate proposals concerning lexlcal access and word recognition systems is hlghligh~d by the results of this experiment, which demonstrate the theoretical implausibility of many of the proposals in the literature whea we consider the consequences in a simulation involving more than a few hundred illustrative words.</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
