Abstract: Within the framework of a larger project on metrical segmentation this study presents the first results of a cross-linguistic experiment with Dutch (penultimate word stress) and Turkish (word final stress) listeners. Previous studies have shown that listeners interpret stressed or strong (non-reduced) syllables as potential beginnings of words in a.o. English [4], and Dutch [13], [22]. This is interpreted as evidence for the Metrical Segmentation Hypothesis, which predicts that listeners have and use a parsing ability based on edgealigned stress. However, evidence for a facilitatory effect of right-edge aligned stress is sparse (but see [6]). The current non-word spotting experiment was designed to find out whether listeners can anticipate a word boundary using language-specific stress patterns. The results show that this is partly the case: Dutch listeners are quicker to spot the ‘word’ when it is preceded by their native penultimate pattern; Turkish listeners are aided by their nat ive final stress pattern as well as by penultimate stress. Turkish listeners, furthermore, make regressive use of metrical cues. (More)
