We are developing a model of the process whereby human listeners extract word sequences from running speech. The model assumes that words are represented in memory in terms of sequences of segments each of which is specified as a bundle of distinctive features. The model aims to develop principles for variation in the realization of these word sequences that accounts for intra- and interspeaker variation as well as language-specific variation.
