L2 Word Stress Learning
Word stress, the placing of emphasis through greater volume or duration on a particular syllable in a word, differs across languages. In some languages, word stress is predictably and consistently placed on a particular syllable of every word. However, in other languages, word stress is variable and therefore unpredictable, and the meaning of a word may indeed change depending on where the stress is located. This raises the question of whether sp…
When Pitch Falls Short
This production study examines how Japanese speakers mark information structure through an Edge-Reinforcing Strategy-a prosodic system that signals focus via boundary-based cues, independently of lexical pitch accent or phrasing constraints. While many Japanese dialects mark focus with F0 expansion and post-focal compression, such strategies are limited in utterances containing unaccented words and in systems without lexical accent or multiword A…
Chinese-English Speakers’ Perception of Pitch in Their Non-Tonal Language
Changing the F0-contour of English words does not change their lexical meaning. However, it changes the meaning in tonal languages such as Mandarin. Given this important difference and knowing that words in the two languages of a bilingual lexicon interact, the question arises as to how Mandarin-English speakers process pitch in their bilingual lexicon. The few studies that addressed this question showed that Mandarin-English speakers did not per…
Explaining Cross-Language Asymmetries in Prosodic Processing
Cross-language studies have shown that English speakers use suprasegmental cues to lexical stress less consistently than speakers of Spanish and other Germanic languages ; accordingly, these studies have attributed this asymmetry to a possible trade-off between the use of vowel reduction and suprasegmental cues in lexical access. We put forward the hypothesis that this “cue trade-off” modulates intonation processing as well, so that English speak…
A Description of Tucumán Spanish Intonation in Argentina
This paper documents for the first time the intonation system of Tucumán Spanish, an understudied variety of Argentinian Spanish. Semi-spontaneous speech illustrating the intonation of main sentence types, i.e. broad focus statements, partial and absolute interrogatives, and imperatives and vocatives, was elicited from 31 native speakers of Tucumán Spanish via an adapted version of the Argentinian Intonation Survey (Prieto and Roseano, 2009-2013)…
English speakers' perception of Spanish lexical stress
Acoustic Correlates of Stress in Central Catalan and Castilian Spanish
The general literature on the phonetic correlates of stress agrees that duration, and in stress accent languages, F0 are consistent correlates of stress. However, the role of amplitude changes in the speech signal is more controversial. In particular, the conflicting results of spectral tilt as a correlate of stress have been attributed to the effects of vowel reduction. We examined the stress correlates of duration, overall intensity and spectra…
Guide to the Phonetic Symbols of Spanish
"Reference work presenting phonetic symbols that have been used to represent the sounds of Spanish in linguistics. Includes entries for over 450 phonetic symbols discussing common and uncommon usages. Also includes discussion of the Spanish sound system, symbol charts, glossary, and references"--Provided by publisher
