通过对以美国英语为母语的人的启动实验，证明了英语语音主题的心理真实性。音位是很好地代表的音义配对，如英语gl-，它出现在许多单词中，含义与光和视觉有关。在实验中，音素，尽管是noncompositional的性质，显示启动效应很像那些已被报道的成分语素。这些影响不能解释为语义或语音启动的结果，无论是单独或组合。研究结果支持了这样一种观点，即词汇之间共享的形式和意义是它们之间相关性的关键因素，并且内部单词结构在语言处理中发挥作用并不需要形态组成。
The psychological reality of English phonaesthemes is demonstrated through a priming experiment with native speakers of American English. Phonaesthemes are well-represented sound-meaning pairings, such as English gl-, which occurs in numerous words with meanings relating to light and vision. In the experiment, phonaesthemes, despite being noncompositional in nature, displayed priming effects much like those that have been reported for compositional morphemes. These effects could not be explained as the result of semantic or phonological priming, either alone or in combination. The results support a view of the lexicon in which shared form and meaning across words is a key factor in their relatedness, and in which morphological composition is not required for internal word structure to play a role in language processing.*
