Lexical Stress and Linguistic Predictability Influence Proofreading Behavior [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 There is extensive evidence that the segmental (i.e., phonemic) layer of phonology is routinely activated during reading, but little is known about whether phonological activation extends beyond phonemes to subsegmental layers (which include articulatory information, such as voicing) and suprasegmental layers (which include prosodic information, such ...

Spectral balance as a cue in the perception of linguistic stress
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997 In this study, the claim that intensity, as an acoustic operationalization of loudness, is a weak cue in the perception of linguistic stress is reconsidered. This claim is based on perception experiments in which loudness was varied in a naive way: All parts of the spectrum were amplified uniformly, i.e., loudness was implemented as intensity or gain ...

Langue(s) & Parole, 2023 For about four decades, phonological theories have claimed that word stress assignment depends on the word’s syllabic structure complexity in relation to syllabic position. This study analyzes the syllabic structure implications for word stress in three

Deliberative Stress in Linguistically Divided Belgium
, 2014 Political disagreement is the basic democratic condition in most Western societies, and few will deny that a diversity of perspectives and opinions is the driving force behind any democracy. However, there is a point beyond which the diversity might become too great to allow for any meaningful public debate. When identities oppose and interests collide,

Spectral balance as an acoustic correlate of linguistic stress
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1996 Although intensity has been reported as a reliable acoustical correlate of stress, it is generally considered a weak cue in the perception of linguistic stress. In natural speech stressed syllables are produced with more vocal effort. It is known that, if a speaker produces more vocal effort, higher frequencies increase more than lower frequencies.

Acoustic correlates of linguistic stress and accent in Dutch and American English [PDF]
Proceeding of Fourth International Conference on Spoken Language Processing. ICSLP '96, 1996 In the literature the same acoustic correlates of stress and accent have been established for Dutch and English, i.e. F0 movement, duration, intensity and vowel quality. A.M.C. Sluijter and V.J. Van Heuven (1996) showed that F0 movement and overall intensity in Dutch differentiate only between accented and non-accented syllables, rather than between ...

A matter of emphasis: Linguistic stress habits modulate serial recall [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2014 Models of short-term memory for sequential information rely on item-level, feature-based descriptions to account for errors in serial recall. Transposition errors within alternating similar/dissimilar letter sequences derive from interactions between overlapping features.
