Two phoneme monitoring experiments are reported that examine the amount of lexical activation produced by words containing initial, medial, or final mispronunciations. Experiment 1 showed that minimal (one distinctive feature) mismatches in the initial phoneme produced lexical activation relative to a baseline control nonword, but only when the target phoneme was situated at word offset and not word-internally.
