An onset is an onset: evidence from abstraction of newly-learned phonotactic constraints
… particular consonants to either the syllable onset or coda position, mixed in with novel test nonwords that either followed (legal) or violated (illegal) the training constraints. Participants more often falsely recognized legal than illegal test nonwords, whether or not they matched the …
