By these results, denseneighbourhood structure may be eschewed in developmental productive change. In particular, word frequency emerged as the most salient factor in promoting productive sound change, whereas denseneighbourhood structure appeared to be most restrictive. Nonetheless, it is striking that for both populations, denseneighbourhood structure appears to be impregnable to productive sound change. Finally, structural organization may be asymmetric, varying across sparse and dense neighbourhoods. That is, sparse neighbourhoods seemed to have less detailed segmental representations of the rhyme than dense neighbourhoods. Figure 1 displays the proportion of ' neighbour of the standard ' responses for standard words from dense neighbourhoods. Presumably, dense neighbourhoods, like sparse neighbourhoods, would go through a period where membership is based on manner similarity in the rhyme position. The results showed that membership in dense neighbourhoods seemed to be based on phoneme similarity in either the onsetjnucleus or the rhyme position. Extending this further, dense neighbourhoods may even be structured by phoneme similarity in the onsetjnucleus or rhyme position as early as infancy. The reason is that accurate productions of words from dense neighbourhoods would prevent the occurrence of homonymy. Continued investigations of younger children, two- and three-year-olds, may help to better delineate this developmental course of lexical restructuring in dense neighbourhoods. Restructuring of dense neighbourhoods will predictably follow a similar path, but is likely to be accelerated because of the greater potential for confusion between phonologically similar words. Given this, it might be thought that early acquired words in dense neighbourhoods will also be resistant to productive change since they may have the most longevity and stability. Presumably, dense neighbourhoods would follow a parallel course of development, but at an accelerated rate due to the greater confusability of words in dense neighbourhoods relative to sparse neighbourhoods. At first glance, this may seem a plausible reason for children's attraction to dense neighbourhoods in perception, as compared to their avoidance of dense neighbourhoods in production.
