      Invited speaker:Keith Johnson, UC Berkeley
      Commentator: Marcus Taft, University of New South Wales
          o How stable are lexical representations?
          o What encoding takes place between the signal and the lexicon?
          o To what degree does literacy/orthography influence lexical representation and access
    * Social information in the lexicon:
      Invited speaker: Paul Foulkes, University of York
      Commentator: Ben Munson, University of Minnesota
          o Is phonetic information in the lexicon accompanied by social information?

    * Phonetic cues to lexical structure

      Commentator: Laurie Bauer, Victoria University of Wellington
          o To what degree does phonetic detail reflect morphological structure?
          o How are different types of boundaries expressed phonetically?
          o Is there phonetic evidence of lexical entries greater than the word?
    * Generalising over the lexicon
      Invited speaker: Anne Cutler, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics & MARCS laboratory
      Commentator: Karen Croot, University of Sydney
          o Is there evidence for or against the existence of abstract phonological categories?
