As speakers and listeners use particular lexical, semantic, and syntactic representations, some of these representations become bound into routines.
This suggests that language production can be greatly enhanced by the prior activation of relevant linguistic representations (in this case, lexical and syntactic representations).
The third issue is that of predictable information in lexical representations.
In effect, they amount to introducing syntactic diacritics in the lexical semantic representations.
A related issue is the influence of other phonological variables on lexical representations.
It will be important for future work to continue to address these issues by attempting to differentiate lexical from phonological representations.
Past studies have focused on the effects of density on spoken language processing, rather than the effects of density on the structure of lexical representations.
It may be that syllable structure may not play a role in the organization of lexical representations, but may influence the organization of phonological representations.
