Russian Language Studies, 2018 The research deals with natural perception of word boundaries by native speakers of Standard Russian. A specific feature of Russian word rhythmic structure is a so-called “prosodic core”: not only stressed, but also first pre-stressed vowels differ in ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Parallel tracking of distant relations between speech elements, so‐called nonadjacent dependencies (NADs), is crucial in language development but computationally demanding and acquired only in late preschool years. As processing of single NADs is facilitated when dependent elements are perceptually similar, we investigated how phonetic ...

Beneficial effects of word final stress in segmenting a new language: evidence from ERPs
BMC Neuroscience, 2008 Background How do listeners manage to recognize words in an unfamiliar language? The physical continuity of the signal, in which real silent pauses between words are lacking, makes it a difficult task.

Temporal structures for Fast and Slow Speech Rate [PDF]
, 1998 The rhythmic component in speech synthesis often remains rather rudimentary, despite recent major efforts in the modeling of prosodic models. The European COST Action 258 has identified this problem as one of the next challenges for speech synthesis ...

Reading versus listening: Which one is more effective for incidental vocabulary learning?
The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.Abstract The article examines incidental vocabulary acquisition, focusing on the differential impacts of input modalities—reading versus listening—on learning of single words and multi‐word expressions. Eighty‐eight university students of L2 Italian were assigned to one of the three groups: (a) reading half of an authentic Italian novel, (b) listening ...

Arabic-Spanish Language Contact in Puerto Rico: A Case of Glottal Stop Epenthesis
Languages, 2019 The current study examines the realization of adjacent vowels across word boundaries in Arabic-Spanish bilinguals and Spanish monolinguals in Puerto Rico, focusing specifically on the rate of glottal stop epenthesis in this context (e.g., hombre africano

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.In the InCHORRRuS (Infant‐directed (ID) Communication Highlights and Organizes Repetition and Redundancy through Rhythmic Structure) framework, increased rhythmicity in ID speech and the beat‐based metrically structured rhythmicity in ID song naturally organize the multimodally redundant and repetitive cues in the caregiver's communicative signals ...

La prosodie des marqueurs de thématisation
TIPA. Travaux interdisciplinaires sur la parole et le langage, 2013 1. Introduction This paper discusses the prosodic properties of sentence-initial PPs in French which are introduced by so-called ’thematic markers’ (TMs), such as en ce qui concerne (’as for’) or du point de vue de (’with regard to’).
