Monitoring metrical stress in polysyllabic words
This study investigated the monitoring of metrical stress information in internally generated speech. In Experiment 1, Dutch participants were asked to judge whether bisyllabic picture names had initial or final stress. Results showed significantly faster decision times for initially stressed targets (e.g., KAno ‘‘canoe’’) than for targets with final stress (e.g., kaNON ‘‘cannon’’; capital lett...
متن کاملHow to Use Polysyllabic Words*
Technical writings rely on the extensive use of polysyllabic words. Such words contain in the strict sense more than three syllables and the number of syllables increases whenever further classification of complex phenomena is needed. Taxonomy, in particular, deals with quite long polysyllabic words. Use of specific terminology appears to be quite convenient for small groups of scholars special...
متن کاملStress assignment in reading Italian polysyllabic pseudowords.
In 4 naming experiments we investigated how Italian readers assign stress to pseudowords. We assessed whether participants assign stress following distributional information such as stress neighborhood (the proportion and number of existent words sharing orthographic ending and stress pattern) and whether such distributional information affects naming speed. Experiments 1 and 2 tested how reade...
متن کامل'Early recognition' of polysyllabic words in continuous speech
Humans are able to recognise a word before its acoustic realisation is complete. This in contrast to conventional automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, which compute the likelihood of a number of hypothesised word sequences, and identify the words that were recognised on the basis of a trace back of the hypothesis with the highest eventual score, in order to maximise efficiency and perfor...
متن کاملEnglish words on the Procrustean bed: Polysyllabic shortening reconsidered
The polysyllabic shortening hypothesis holds that the duration of a primary stressed syllable is inversely proportional to the number of additional syllables within the word. We examine the evidence for this process in British English speech by measuring the duration of primary stressed syllables in monosyllabic, disyllabic and trisyllabic words, both right-headed series – e.g. mend, commend, r...
