Ten-month-old infants’ neural tracking of naturalistic speech is not facilitated by the speaker's eye gaze
2023, Developmental Cognitive NeuroscienceInfants’ sensitivity to nonadjacent vowel dependencies: The case of vowel harmony in Hungarian
2019, Journal of Experimental Child PsychologyCitation Excerpt :For the lexical level, changes in harmonicity, such as a transition from back to front vowels or from rounded to unrounded vowels, signal the boundaries of (morphologically complex) words. Indeed, adult speakers of harmonic languages, but not of nonharmonic ones, are able to use such changes in harmonicity as segmentation cues (Kabak, Maniwa, & Kazanina, 2010; Suomi, McQueen, & Cutler, 1997; Vroomen, Tuomainen, & de Gelder, 1998). Similarly, van Kampen et al. (2008) showed that in addition to being sensitive to vowel harmony at 6 months of age, Turkish-learning infants are also able to use vowel harmony, together with lexical stress, as a cue to word segmentation.
ERP evidence for implicit L2 word stress knowledge in listeners of a fixed-stress language
2018, International Journal of PsychophysiologyCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, incorrect stress hampered word recognition in listeners with a fixed-stress L1. Finish listeners detected the word “HYmy” [smile] faster in “pyHYmy” than in “PYhymy” (Vroomen et al., 1998). The latter finding might imply that Finish listeners store the mandatory word-initial stress position together with each word and have difficulties in accessing a word with incorrect stress.
