Abstract
A series of picture-word interference experiments tests whether close semantic competitors of a target noun become phonologically encoded during lexical access in speech production. The results show that in naming a picture with two quasi-synonymous names (e.g., couch - sofa) not only the eventual target word (e.g., couch) but also its (not produced) semantic competitor (sofa) becomes phonological encoded. Implications for models of lexical access in language production are discussed.
