About this deal

For example, some proposals have suggested that the earliest tools for word segmentation are prosodic cues (e.

The results of Experiment 1B indicate that, regardless of whether they heard a language made up of trochaic words or iambic words, infants showed the same preference at test. Neepin’s titles for children include Discovering Animals: English * French * Cree, Discovering Numbers: English * French * Cree, Discovering People: English * French * Cree, and Discovering Words: English * French * Cree. A related argument is that statistical learning develops later than other cues to word segmentation, and is thus not central to the process of language development.Rather than statistical cues and acoustic cues being in conflict (as they are artificially placed in the iambic familiarization stream), conditional statistical information may actually allow infants to discover the dominant rhythmic patterns of their native language ( Thiessen and Saffran, 2007). e., words), and syllable groups with low conditional relations, such as groupings that occur across word boundaries (e. Additionally, we will investigate whether infants at this young age prioritize conditional statistical information over lexical stress as a cue to word segmentation, consistent with the statistical bootstrapping account.

If infants in this experiment behave in the same way, they should look longer at test items that violate their expectations (i.To efficiently segment fluent speech, infants must discover the predominant phonological form of words in the native language. e., is widely generalizable), but strongly indicates that lexical stress is associated with word-initial position. Before exposure to the to-be-segmented artificial language, infants heard a list of 30 CVCV bisyllabic nonsense words, repeated twice, for a total of 60 words. Other times it is in the illustration itself such as Métis beading on a jacket or a woman’s long dark braid. Here also are the lexicographers; Samuel Johnson gets more column inches than the later Noah Webster, a man who bemoaned the evils of plagarism.

Once infants have discovered the acoustic features that are consistent in their proto-lexicon, they can use these features as cues to subsequent word segmentation (e. Integrating information across a lexicon like this should lead infants to discover that lexical forms can vary in their phonemic identity, but show a consistent word-initial stress pattern.Referenced several other books I'm familiar with (and have read recently) - Bill Bryson and David Crystal.

Exposed to a set of lexical items in isolation, 5-month-olds were able to integrate information across these exemplars to identify the only feature consistent across all of them: their lexical stress pattern. Consistent with this, adults do not weight conditional statistical information very strongly as a cue to word boundaries, instead relying on language-specific segmentation cues (e. This cue is relevant to word segmentation because sounds within a word are more likely to co-occur than sounds across word boundaries ( Hayes and Clark, 1970).First, infants must be able to segment words from fluent speech, via sensitivity to conditional statistical cues, before 6 months. A related example of sensitivity to distributional information is the discovery of the prototypical configuration of a set of exemplars.
