>Quality of Phonological Representation of Lexical Items
>
>We are interested in reviewing papers that present theory and data concerning:
>
>�	the nature of phonological representations of lexical items
>�	ways of assessing the quality of phonological representations
>of lexical item
>�	the ways in which the quality of phonological representations
>change in first language learners with the acquisition of phonology
>and with expansion of the lexicon
>�	the relevance of quality of phonological representation of
>lexical items to normal reading development and to dyslexia
>�	the impact of bilingualism and/or second language acquisition
>on the quality of phonological representations.
>
>Specific questions that individual papers might address include but are
>not limited to:
>
>How does one define quality of phonological representations?  How
>does one measure quality of phonological representations in ways that
>distinguish it from orthographic knowledge? How does quality of
>phonological representation relate to phonological awareness?  Is
>quality of phonological representation linked across the two
>languages spoken by a bilingual? Is expansion of vocabulary beyond
>some point predicated on some threshold level of quality of
>phonological representation?  Alternately, is quality of phonological
>representation a product of the expansion of vocabulary beyond a
>certain level?  Is there a relationship between quality of
>phonological representation and success in early or in later reading
>acquisition? And speed of lexical access during reading?  Is quality
>of phonological representations selectively impaired in any subset of
>children with language difficulties or reading problems?

>Papers received in response to this call will be submitted to Applied
>Psycholinguistics' normal peer review process.  Deadline for
