Models of speech perception have stressed the importance of investigating recognition of words in fluent speech. The effects of word length and the initial phonemes of words on the speech perception of foreign language learners were investigated. English-speaking subjects were asked to listen for target words in repeated presentations of a prose passage read in French by a native speaker. The four target words were either one or four syllables in length and began with either an initial stop or fricative consonant. Each of the four words was substituted 60 times in identical sentence contexts in place of nouns deleted from the original story. The results indicated that four-syllable words were more easily detected than one-syllable words. Contrary to expectation, stop-initial words were not more accurately detected than fricative-initial words. Based on these findings additional considerations that seem needed in order to apply current models of word recognition to naive listeners are discussed.
言语感知模型强调了研究流畅言语中单词识别的重要性。研究了单词长度和单词首音素对外语学习者言语感知的影响。以英语为母语的受试者被要求在以法语朗读的散文段落的重复呈现中听目标单词，该散文段落由以法语为母语的人朗读。四个目标单词的长度要么是一个音节，要么是四个音节，并且以塞音或擦音开头。这四个单词中的每一个都在相同的句子语境中被替换60次，以代替从原始故事中删除的名词。结果表明，四音节单词比单音节单词更容易被检测到。与预期相反，以塞音开头的单词并不比以擦音开头的单词更容易被准确检测到。基于这些发现，讨论了为了将当前的单词识别模型应用于新手听众似乎需要的其他考虑因素。
