Perception of predictable stress: A cross-linguistic investigation [PDF]
Journal of Phonetics, 2010 Abstract Previous studies have documented that speakers of French, a language with predictable stress, have difficulty distinguishing nonsense words that vary in stress position solely (stress “deafness”). In a sequence recall task with adult speakers of five languages with predictable stress (Standard French, Southeastern French, Finnish, Hungarian ...

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.

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 ...
