Language-specific phonological processes routinely affect the pronunciation of words spoken in context, but do not appear to interfere with spoken word recognition. Five experiments arc presented in which native and non-speakers of Hungarian and Korean monitored for segments in assimilated and non-assimilated control contexts related to language-specific assimilation phenomena in those languages. Native and non-speakers of Hungarian showed similar context effects related to Hungarian voicing assimilation in Experiments 1 and 2. In Experiments 3–5 native and non- speakers of Korean showed no context effects related to Korean labial-to-velar place assimilation. These results contrast with significant context effects related to Korean coronal place assimilation shown m Experiment 5. These results contrast that these context effects rely on perceptual mechanisms that interact with the acoustic characteristics of phonological modification rather than mechanisms driven by language-specific knowledge operating at an abstract phonological level.
