Abstract Narrative                                                                                                                                                   Phonological theory is an abstract theory of the sound                     systems of natural languages.  There has been a continuing debate               among linguists for some two decades now as to whether the                      entities and rules postulated by phonological theory in order to                account for purely linguistic data have any psychological reality               in the mind of the speaker.  Since psychological reality itself                 is not accessible to direct observation, this is a complicated                  issue to test empirically.                                                                                                                                           The project proposed here is a particularly clever and well                thought out series of experiments designed to test empirical                    predictions of some specific aspects of phonological theory,                    based on the elicitation of speech errors in controlled                         conditions.  Pilot work has suggested the existence of a                        surprising asymmetry of error types which, if it holds up under                 further investigation, yields strong support to some fundamental                assumptions of phonological theory.  The proposed experiments                   will investigate this phenomenon in detail.                                                                                                                          The Principal Investigator is a young scientist whose record               is already one of remarkable productivity.  He can be expected to               carry out this interesting project successfully.
