The Role of the Syllable in Speech Segmentation In previous papers we proposed that the syllable is a natural unit in speech processing (Mehler, Segui, and Frauenfelder 1981; Mehler 1981; Segui 1984). According to this position, syllabic units are constructed from the continuous speech signal and constitute the input for lexical access and eventually for more detailed phonemic analysis. This hy...

at many distinguished institutions may license the conclusion that continuous speech has no obvious cues that facilitate the segmentation process es. However , even if cues indicating boundaries or natural segments have not been found , it would be rash to claim that they cannot be found. The lexicon is acquired, and infants are provided with little information about words pronounced in isolati...
