One aim of the research project “Prosodic coding and decoding of words in fluent speech: a cross-language investigation between Swedish, Greek and French (ProCoF)” is to investigate the syllable from a phonological and phonetic point of view. Due to the differing opinions about the rules for syllabification in Swedish, a methodological study has been carried out in order to shed light on the co...

Hyung-Soo Kim. 2005. The so-called reduplication with fixed segmentism in Korean revisited. Studies in Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology 11.2. 119146. This paper reanalyzes the so-called reduplication with fixed segmentism cases in Korean and shows, inter alia, that the fixed segmentism occurring in examples such as, talkak/talkatak “rattling” is not of the phonological type as previously cla...

The supramarginal gyrus (SMG) is activated for phonological processing during both language and verbal working memory tasks. Using rTMS, we investigated whether the contribution of the SMG to phonological processing is domain specific (specific to phonology) or more domain general (specific to verbal working memory). A measure of phonological complexity was developed based on sonority differenc...

This study presents a micro-typological description of German dialects, focusing on the structure 13,492 tokens monosyllables, across 182 locations within Germany. Based data from Phonetischer Atlas der Bundesrepublik Deutschland , systematic geographical differences in both segmental and prosodic organization syllables are explored. The analysis reveals North–South contrast syllable structure....

This paper documents a Web-based psycholinguistic resource, the ARC Nonword Database, which complements the existing MRC Psycholinguistic Database (which provides words only). Pseudohomophones and non-pseudohomophonic nonwords were devised based on phonotactic and orthographic constraints of Australian English. These items can be selected from the ARC Nonword Database on the basis of a wide var...
