Syllable structure affects second-language spoken word recognition and production
In this study, we show that second-language (L2) spoken-word recognition is greatly influenced by syllable-structure differences between the native language (L1) and the second language (L2), and that L2 word-recognition accuracy is a reliable predictor of L2 word-production accuracy. Spanish-speaking English learners (experimental group) completed a listening task in which they monitored /(ǝ)s...
متن کاملSyllable frequency and word frequency effects in spoken and written word production in a non-alphabetic script
The effects of word frequency (WF) and syllable frequency (SF) are well-established phenomena in domain such as spoken production in alphabetic languages. Chinese, as a non-alphabetic language, presents unique lexical and phonological properties in speech production. For example, the proximate unit of phonological encoding is syllable in Chinese but segments in Dutch, French or English. The pre...
متن کاملThe role of neighborhood relative frequency in spoken word recognition
According to current models of word recognition, the time to recognize a word would be affected by the frequency of its neighbors. The present study examined the role of neighborhood frequency in spoken word recognition, using a definition of the neighborhood in terms of the last candidates of the cohort aligned from onset with the input [8]. Two sets of disyllabic CVCV words were selected whic...
متن کاملThe importance of the first syllable in English spoken word recognition by adult Japanese speakers
We investigated adult Japanese speakers’ deficiencies in English spoken word recognition. We found that the accurate recognition of the first syllable or the initial portion of each word played an important role in recognizing a word correctly. It was implied in the study that their recognition performance would be enhanced by utilizing the speech processing methods, time-scale expansion and/or...
متن کاملVisual word recognition of single-syllable words.
Speeded visual word naming and lexical decision performance are reported for 2428 words for young adults and healthy older adults. Hierarchical regression techniques were used to investigate the unique predictive variance of phonological features in the onsets, lexical variables (e.g., measures of consistency, frequency, familiarity, neighborhood size, and length), and semantic variables (e.g. ...
