The role of expertise in coping with accents during simultaneous interpreting: A pupillometric study
Foreign-accented speech is one of the factors that add to the cognitive load exerted during conference interpreting. In the present study, we investigated the effect of different accents on speech processing during this task in addition to the respective roles played by language proficiency and expertise. We therefore designed a pupillometric study in which we tested both students and professional interpreters. The results show that, throughout t…
Timing patterns in a hybrid metrical system
Duration is a cross-linguistically common correlate of metrical prominence, but it is also a well-known multi-purpose phonetic cue. The confounding impact of factors such as word length, segmental structure, phrasal stress, or boundary effects on the expression of word-level metrical prominence has been widely acknowledged in the phonetic literature. Yet, there are few studies which attempt to disentangle various factors affecting temporal patter…
Metrical Structure and Licensing: An Argument from Ukrainian
It has been debated in phonological literature whether word stress should be modeled using metrical grids or feet and how its directionality is assigned. In this article, we discuss new data from Ukrainian, which has a hybrid metrical system with unpredictable lexical stress and grammatical iterative secondary stress. We demonstrate that Ukrainian poses a challenge for current metrical theories relying on gradient alignment and propose an analysi…
Polish iterative stress and its phonetic parameters in quiet vs. noisy environments
Research on English has shown that the phonetic contrast between stressed and unstressed syllables is enhanced in speech produced in the presence of background noise. In this study, we test whether the so-called Lombard effect is mediated by prosodic structure also in a language with predictable stress. We investigate the effect of noisy environment on the production of rhythmic stress in Polish, which is a well-documented iterative stress system…
Default stress assignment in Russian: Evidence from acquired surface dyslexia
This paper re-examines theoretical constructs used in the analysis of Russian word stress, employing data from speakers with acquired surface dyslexia, a symptom which is characterised by impaired lexical access and preserved grapheme–phoneme correspondence rules. Russian stems have been traditionally analysed as lexically accented or unaccented, with a default rule deriving surface stress in the latter case. In the study reported here, we found …
Rhythmic stress in Ukrainian: Acoustic evidence of a bidirectional system
Bidirectional stress systems with internal lapses are rare and their existence has been recently called into question (Newlin-Łukowicz 2012). The present paper reports an acoustic study of secondary stress in Ukrainian based on polysyllabic words with lexical stress located at or near the right edge of the word. The results indicate that Ukrainian has an iteration of secondary stresses from the left edge towards the lexical stress, rather than in…
