Three experiments investigated the use of lexical stress in auditory word recognition. Speech voicing continua were created in which lexical status resulted in one end-point constituting a real word and the other end a nonword (e.g. diGRESS-tiGRESS, in which digress is a real word, and DIgress-Tigress, in which tigress is a real word). Subjects' identification of the initial segment of these items was biased in the midrange of the continua in that they were more likely to report a segment that resulted in a real word than one that resulted in a nonword. Alternative acoustically based explanations are discounted in favor of a lexically based account of the data. Possible mechanisms underlying the effect of lexical stress on speech perception are discussed.
三项实验研究了词汇重音在听觉单词识别中的作用。创建了语音浊音连续体，其中词汇状态导致一个端点构成一个真实单词，另一个端点构成一个非单词（例如diGRESS - tiGRESS，其中digress是一个真实单词，而DIgress - Tigress，其中tigress是一个真实单词）。在连续体的中间范围内，受试者对这些项目初始部分的识别存在偏差，因为他们更有可能报告导致真实单词的部分，而不是导致非单词的部分。基于声学的其他解释被排除，转而支持基于词汇的数据解释。讨论了词汇重音对语音感知影响的潜在机制。
