This study addresses the lexical representation of stress in a series of 5 intramodal and cross-modal priming experiments in the Greek language using lexical decision tasks with auditory and visual targets. Three-syllable primes and targets were matched in first syllable segments, length, and other variables, and differed segmentally in the second and third syllable. Primes matched or mismatched targets in stress, which was placed on the penultimate or antepenultimate syllable. There was no evidence for stress priming in either accuracy or latency of responses to either words or pseudowords in any of these experiments, either intramodally or cross-modally. In contrast, a control fragment priming experiment using only the first 2 syllables of the primes produced a significant effect of stress congruence for words but not for pseudowords. The results are interpreted in the context of previous findings in the literature as arising from lexical activation rather than from matching stress patterns. Overall, findings are consistent with lexical representations including stress information that is inseparable from segmental specification, rather than with abstract representations of metrical templates.

本研究通过在希腊语中进行一系列5个模态内和跨模态启动实验，使用带有听觉和视觉目标的词汇判断任务，探讨重音的词汇表征。三音节的启动词和目标词在第一个音节片段、长度和其他变量上相匹配，在第二个和第三个音节上存在片段差异。启动词与目标词在重音上匹配或不匹配，重音位于倒数第二个或倒数第三个音节上。在这些实验中的任何一个中，无论是模态内还是跨模态，对于单词或伪词的反应准确性或潜伏期，均没有重音启动的证据。相比之下，一个仅使用启动词前两个音节的对照片段启动实验，对单词产生了显著的重音一致性效应，但对伪词没有。研究结果结合文献中先前的发现进行解释，认为这是由词汇激活而非匹配重音模式引起的。总体而言，研究结果与包含与音段规范不可分割的重音信息的词汇表征一致，而与韵律模板的抽象表征不一致。（PsycINFO数据库记录）
