To set the stage for our discussion, it is necessary first to provide a theoretical framework of the functional architecture of the word recognition system. Here, we will briefly specify the various components and stages of processing, identify the proposed representations in each of these components, and describe the nature of the information flow between the components. It is within this framework that we will consider feature representations. As a starting point for the discussion of features as representational units, it is useful to provide motivation and evidence for the theoretical construct of features. We will then turn to the evidence that features are indeed representational units in speech perception and word recognition.
