Incremental encoding and incremental articulation in speech production: Evidence based on response latency and initial segment duration

The WEAVER++ model discussed by Levelt et al. assumes incremental encoding and articulation following complete encoding. However, many of the response latency results can also be accounted for by assuming incremental articula tion. Another temporal variable, initial segment duration, can distinguish WEAVER ++'s incremental encoding account from the incremental articulation account.
