The role of syllables in the perception of spoken Dutch

Abstract:

Three experiments are reported concerning the role of the syllable in the perception of spoken Dutch. Ss monitored spoken words for the presence of target strings that did or did not correspond to the words' first syllable. Effects of syllabic match were obtained for spoken words with unambiguous syllabic structure, as well as for words containing ambisyllabic consonants, which are shared by 2 syllables. For both types of words, monitoring latencies were shorter if the target matched the first syllable of the spoken word. Syllable effects were independent of the relation between targets and stem morphemes of spoken words. Commonalities and differences between these results and those obtained in other languages such as English and French are discussed.
