Recent research about the role of lexical tone in Chinese word recognition has arrived at varying conclusions. It remains unclear how tone is represented in the mental lexicon and how tone constrains the activation of lexical candidates. In a set of priming experiments, we manipulated the effect of tonal information on lexical processing by comparing the response times to prime and target syllables that share no segmental content but that either match or mismatch in lexical tone. In two experimental paradigms, shadowing and lexical decision, subjects consistently responded more slowly to target words that were preceded by a prime that contained a matching lexical tone. We argue that our results suggest a group activation of words with the same lexical tone that then compete during lexical selection. Our findings support the view that tones constrain lexical activation, but differently than reported in previous studies.
