Syllable onsets are perceptual reading units.
Syllable onsets are defined as the initial consonant or consonant cluster in a syllable (e.g., BR in BREAD). In the present study, using a letter detection paradigm and French words, we tested whether syllable onsets are processed as units by the reading system. In Experiment 1, we replicated Gross, Treiman, and Inman's (2000) result of observing no difference between the detection latencies of...
متن کاملDevelopment of complex syllable onsets: evidence from durational measurements
This paper investigates the emergence of complex syllable onsets through measurements of their duration compared to the duration of corresponding singleton syllable onsets. The results show that there is a difference in the progression in syllable onset duration that is dependent on subject age and onset structure.
متن کاملStochastic time analysis of syllable-referential intervals and simplex onsets
We pursue an analysis of the relation between qualitative syllable parses and their quantitative phonetic consequences. To do this, we express the statistics of a symbolic organization corresponding to a syllable parse in terms of continuous phonetic parameters which quantify the timing of the consonants and vowels that make up syllables: consonantal plateau durations, vowel durations, and thei...
متن کاملEnglish and French speakers' perception of voicing distinctions in non-native lateral consonant syllable onsets
English and French listeners were tested on discrimination and open-response categorization of laryngeal contrasts in three non-native syllable onsets differing in gestural complexity, in particular in the phasing between laryngeal and supralaryngeal articulations. All onsets involved a lateral, which was combined with a coronal stop in two contrasts. Results support the view that syllable onse...
متن کاملImplications for Word Recognition of Phonetic Dependencies between Syllable Onsets and Codas
Acoustic cues to a given phonological contrast may extend over long stretches of time. Thus, recent findings show that syllableonset /l/s are slightly longer and darker in syllables with voiced codas, compared with voiceless ones, and that, in certain conditions, these acoustic differences play a role in word recognition. It is argued that coda-dependent variations in onset /l/s contribute to e...
