abstract = "![CDATA[A single-item shadowing task was conducted to determine how identification of London-accented words by Australian listeners is affected by perceptual assimilation. This was evaluated in conjunction with two other well-established effects on word recognition: word frequency and talker variability. The results replicate frequency and talker variability effects, support the hypothesis that talker and accent normalisation operate at different processing stages, and show that words with nativelike assimilation of all phonemes are identified more accurately than those with category goodness or category shifting assimilation. Results are evaluated in view of episodic theories of lexical access.]]",
