This research addresses the question why Dutch texts are plagued by homophone intrusions on regular verb forms, despite the straightforward and morpheme-based rules that govern their spelling. Two types of intrusions can be distinguished. Lexical intrusions are substitutions involving two homophonous verb forms (e.g., ik *wordt 'I becomes' instead of ik word 'I become', both [wOrt]). In the case of sublexical intrusions, a homophonous letter sequence replaces the correct spelling (e.g., *wastte instead of waste 'washed', both [wAst ]). Crucially, the homophonous letter patterns (ste or stte for [st ]) straddle the stem-suffix (i.e., morphemic) boundary between the stem-final s and the past tense te-suffix.

520 $a This research addresses the question why Dutch texts are plagued by homophone intrusions on regular verb forms, despite the straightforward and morpheme-based rules that govern their spelling. Two types of intrusions can be distinguished. Lexical intrusions are substitutions involving two homophonous verb forms (e.g., ik *wordt 'I becomes' instead of ik word 'I become', both [wOrt]). In the case of sublexical intrusions, a homophonous letter sequence replaces the correct spelling (e.g., *wastte instead of waste 'washed', both [wAst ]). Crucially, the homophonous letter patterns (ste or stte for [st ]) straddle the stem-suffix (i.e., morphemic) boundary between the stem-final s and the past tense te-suffix.
520 $a A series of production and perception experiments revealed that these errors are the inevitable by-product of the operation of the mental lexicon, which is sensitive to statistical (and implicit) regularities in the written language. For lexical intrusions, more homophone intrusions were made on the low-frequency (LF) homophonous form. This preference for the high-frequency (HF) spelling indicates that regular verb forms are stored and retrieved as full forms, although such a process is logically superfluous given their rule-based nature. In perception, HF errors were also processed more quickly than LF errors, both in a minimal and normal sentence context, and, due to their orthographic familiarity, overlooked more often in proofreading. This suggests that a frequency-sensitive full-form retrieval process is operative both in production and perception. A similar pattern of results was obtained for sublexical intrusions: past tenses with a word-final homophonous letter pattern were more error-prone (e.g., *wastte analogous to tastte 'touched') than verb forms that do not exhibit such sublexical homophony (e.g., *staptte, whose letter pattern ptte is non-existent). The former errors, receiving support from a frequent homophonous letter pattern, were also processed more quickly and left undetected more often in perception.
520 $a The results for both types of homophone intrusions converge on the same conclusion: Dutch language users do not deterministically apply spelling rules. Our cognitive infrastructure tricks spellers into making these errors and readers into accepting them, at least when the incorrect spelling corresponds to the most frequent homophone or to a familiar orthographic homophonous pattern (whether it corresponds to a morphemic unit or not).
