TABLE 2.

The modeling of within level associations at the phonological level within the mental lexicon is given here in detail for some phonological forms which are associated within the phonological S-pointer network with the deep phonological forms.

“P_” means phonological form; “St_” means stressed syllable; “Pw_” means phonological form of a whole word; the following letters indicate the phonological transcription of the word or syllable or part of the syllable. The German words which are associated here by the deep form, e.g., “SEE” are “schaelen” (to peel) and “Schere” (scissors). The phonological level is comprised of two layers: the deep layer and the surface layer, which interact with each other. Seen in more detail, the phono_deep layer itself splits into different layers. For example, /S22n/ refers to /S22/; and /S22/ refers to /S/.
