Infants’ discrimination of final syllable fundamental frequency in multisyllabic stimuli
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1985Two groups of nine, 5- to 11-month-old infants were tested for discrimination of a change in peak fundamental frequency (F0) within the final syllable of multisyllabic speechlike stimuli. A visually reinforced headturn discrimination procedure was used to determine sensitivity to increments in peak F0 in synthetic speech in both bisyllabic (CVCVC) and ...

Syllable-frequency effects in visual word recognition: evidence from ERPs
NeuroReport, 2004A lexical decision experiment was conducted while event related potentials (ERPs) were recorded. The word frequency and the first syllable frequency of each word were manipulated. Results showed that, while high frequency words produced less negative amplitudes in the N400 time window than low frequency words, the inverse pattern was found for syllable

Language and Cognitive Processes, 2013
The study assessed the eye movements of 60 adult German readers during silent reading of target words, consisting of two and three syllables, embedded in sentences. The first objective was to assess whether the inhibitory effect of first syllable frequency, which was up to now primarily shown for isolated words, generalises to natural reading.

Orthographic structure and deaf spelling errors: Syllables, letter frequency, and speech
The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section A, 2004Syllable structure influences hearing students’ reading and spelling (e.g., Badecker, 1996; Caramazza & Miceli, 1990; Prinzmetal, Treiman, & Rho, 1986; Rapp, 1992; Treiman & Zukowski, 1988). This may seem unsurprising since hearers closely associate written and spoken words.

Effects of aspiration on fundamental frequency in Taiwanese syllables
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2005The perturbation effect on vowel fundamental frequency (F0) by voiceless aspirated and unaspirated prevocalic obstruents is investigated in Taiwanese. It is well known that F0 is significantly higher after voiceless than voiced stops. However, the perturbation effect caused by aspiration has received much less attention.

Coarticulation of inherent fundamental frequency levels between syllables
Annual Report of the Institute of Phonetics University of Copenhagen, 1980In Advanced Standard Copenhagen (ASC) Danish the inherent Fo level differences between high and low vowels are of an order of magnitude comparable to that of the Fo deflection in the stress groups. In theory, this could imply that the intended stress distribution in an utterance might be perceived incorrectly, since the inherent Fo level variation ...

Simulating syllable frequency effects within an interactive activation framework
European Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2010Simulation data are presented for a novel computational model of visual word recognition containing syllabic representation units. The model is based on the multiple readout model MROM (Grainger & Jacobs, 1996) and it was used to simulate data from a syllable frequency experiment.

Frequency and Percent Frequency Distribution of Phonemes and Syllables
1979When listening to a language, the listeners must be able to differentiate phonemes and groups of phonemes to interpret their meanings. Some phonemes are influenced more strongly than others by the coarticulation of sounds. In the study of speech sounds, it is essential to know the extent to which different phonemes and phoneme sequences occur in a ...

Frequency shift in homologue syllables of the Ortolan Bunting Emberiza hortulana
Behavioural Processes, 2005Results of this study indicate that in the Ortolan Bunting Emberiza hortulana, syllables of the same shape on sonograms (i.e. homologue syllables) often significantly differ between males in frequency parameters. Typically, homologue syllables of different males in the studied population had a similar bandwidth but shifted minimal and maximal ...

Patterns of phoneme and syllable frequency in jargon aphasia
Brain and Language, 2005Aphasic non-word errors have been shown to be related to their intended target words at different linguistic levels (overview in Gordon, 2002). In contrast, only few studies have investigated aphasic spontaneous speech that does not consist of discrete non-word errors and in which lexical targets may be completely unrecognizable, as is the case in ...
