Rather than whistling while she worked, Snow White worked the audience with her precise delivery, key stressed words, planned pauses, overuse of alliteration and her pitch perfect pithiness.
Pitch and stressed words were marked and next of kin's gestures were noted in the transcript, in order to preserve not only what was said but also how it was said [ 22, 31].
We calculated the mean pitch contours of the stressed word onset syllables, such as KO-, and of the unstressed word onset syllables, such as fa-, appliedlied them to each individual syllable.
That'll just lower your reputation of the stressed word 'funny'funny
A stressed pitch contour preceding the written version of an initially stressed word as well as an unstressed pitch contour preceding the written version of an initially unstressed word were considered a stress match.
How a child stresses words and the rhythm of speech may be impaired by Asperger's.
The targets used in Experiment 4 were the same dominant consistent and non-dominant inconsistent stress words of Experiment 2. One-hundred sixty-eight words were selected to be used as primes, 84 with dominant stress, and 84 with non-dominant stress.
So there should be an increase in latency and errors for non-dominant stress words, independently of the stress pattern of nonword primes.
For dominant stress words, if the activation of sublexical codes is more likely with nonword primes, and stress on the penultimate syllable applies as a default, the same pattern as in Experiment 2 should be found, with no decline in performance in the nonword priming condition.
They even found a reversal of the stress effect, with faster latencies for non-dominant stress words with a higher number of consistent neighbors, as compared to the dominant stress words.
