Lexical Segmentation in Spoken Word Recognition
This thesis examines an important issue in spoken word recognition; how the perceptual system segments connected speech into lexical units or words. Research on this topic has investigated the role of different sources of information in dividing up the speech stream: acoustic cues in the speech signal, statistical regularities in the structure of the language or through the identification of in...
متن کاملAn ERP correlate of metrical stress in spoken word recognition.
Rhythmic properties of spoken language such as metrical stress, that is, the alternation of strong and weak syllables, are important in speech recognition of stress-timed languages such as Dutch and English. Nineteen subjects listened passively to or discriminated actively between sequences of bisyllabic Dutch words, which started with either a weak or a strong syllable. Weak-initial words, whi...
متن کاملCompetition and segmentation in spoken word recognition
Spoken utterances contain few reliable cues to word boundaries, but listeners nonetheless experience little difficulty identifying words in continuous speech. The authors present data and simulations that suggest that this ability is best accounted for by a model of spoken-word recognition combining competition between alternative lexical candidates, and sensitivity to prosodic structure. In a ...
متن کاملMetrical expectations from preceding prosody influence spoken word recognition
Two visual world experiments tested the hypothesis that expectations based on preceding prosody influence the perception of suprasegmental cues to lexical stress. Experiment 1 showed that phonemically overlapping words with different initial stress patterns compete for recognition. Experiment 2 further demonstrated that fundamental frequency and syllable timing patterns across material precedin...
متن کاملLeading Up the Lexical Garden Path: Segmentation and Ambiguity in Spoken Word Recognition
Two gating studies, a forced-choice identification study and 2 series of cross-modal repetition priming experiments, traced the time course of recognition of words with onset embeddings (captain) and short words in contexts that match (cap tucked) or mismatch (cap looking) with longer words. Results suggest that acoustic differences in embedded syllables assist the perceptual system in discrimi...
