Sub-Segmental Detail in Early Lexical Representations. (2008, background): “Mani and Plunkett (2007) did not manipulate distance explicitly, but included vowel mispronunciations of different sizes.”
When does native language input affect phonetic perception? The precocious case of lexical tone (2013, result): “As has been shown with adults (e.g., New, Araújo, & Nazzi, 2008), as well as with infants and children (e.g., Havy & Nazzi, 2009; Mani & Plunkett , 2007; Nazzi, 2005), vowels are sometimes more confusable than consonants when accessing word forms.”
Categorization of regional and foreign accent in 5- to 7-year-old British children (2009, background): “…view, Nazzi (2005) has demonstrated that young children perform better in a word learning task when the to-be-learned words contrast on consonants rather than on vowels (see also Nazzi & New, 2007; Nazzi, Floccia, Moquet, & Butler, in press; but see Mani & Plunkett, 2007, for a different view).”
