The Role of Orthographic Syllable Frequency in the Syllable Frequency Effect: Evidence from Korean
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2015There have been ongoing debates as to whether the syllable frequency effect is dependent purely on phonological representation or is also affected by the orthographic representation of the syllable. In two experiments, the authors investigated the effect of the phonologic and orthographic frequencies on the syllable frequency effect by manipulating ...

High-frequency first syllables facilitate name–face association learning
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2022It is harder to learn a proper name than a common noun in association with a new face, and low-frequency (LF) or rare surnames are harder to learn than high-frequency (HF) or common surnames. A separate body of research has shown that words containing HF phonological components can be easier to retrieve and produce than words with LF phonological ...

The influence of syllable onset complexity and syllable frequency on speech motor control
Brain and Language, 2008Functional imaging studies have delineated a "minimal network for overt speech production", encompassing mesiofrontal structures (supplementary motor area, anterior cingulate gyrus), bilateral pre- and postcentral convolutions, extending rostrally into posterior parts of the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) of the language-dominant hemisphere, left ...

Formant-Frequency Trajectories in Selected CVC-Syllable Nuclei
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1970The frequencies of the first three vowel formants in 1728 monosyllables containing the Midwestern American English vowel /ɪ/ (as in fit) were measured by means of a computer-assisted technique employing a data-display screen, light pen, and television camera.

Naming pseudowords in Spanish: Effects of syllable frequency
Brain and Language, 2004Three naming experiments were conducted to examine the role of the first and the second syllable during speech production in Spanish. Facilitative effects of syllable frequency with disyllabic words have been reported in Dutch and Spanish (Levelt & Wheeldon, 1994; Perea & Carreiras, 1998). In both cases, the syllable frequency effect was independent of-

Frequency of acoustical patterns in Spanish syllables
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1985This work aims at a better understanding of the internal acoustical structure of Spanish speech sounds. A sample of 43 000 words was used to analyze the frequency of occurrence of the main spectral patterns of 68 141 syllable-sized segments. Acoustical syllabic components (ASC) were classed in periodic nonvocalic (P) and vocalic (V) sounds, bursts (B),

Syllable frequency effects in Spanish handwriting production
Revista de Logopedia, Foniatría y Audiología, 2011Abstract This study was concerned with the nature of the sublexical units that are functional during the process of writing words in normal adults. Specifically, we focused on the role of syllables in Spanish handwriting. Participants were asked to write down trisyllabic words.

The Syllable Frequency Effect Before and After Speaking
2023Speaking requires translating concepts into a sequence of sounds. Contemporary models of language production assume that this translation involves a series of steps: from selecting the concepts to be expressed, to phonetic and articulatory encoding of the words.

Fundamental frequency and perceived prominence of accented syllables
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991Perceived prominence differences between accented words have been accounted for in terms of fundamental frequency (F0) variations. In one theory prominence is related to the relative magnitude of F0 changes, and in another theory prominence is related to relative frequencies of F0 maxima.

Syllable Frequency and Visual Word Recognition in Spanish
Journal of Memory and Language, 1993Abstract This paper examines the role of the syllable as a sublexical representational unit during visual word recognition in a shallow language: Spanish. Five experiments were carried out to test the effect of the frequency of the syllables on naming latencies and lexical decision times. The orthographic redundancy hypothesis (Seidenberg, 1987, 1989)
