We report here on a preliminary instrumental analysis of word stress in Indonesian, in order to broaden our cross-linguistic understanding of the phonetic properties of stress and to assess observations in the phonological literature about Indonesian stress based on impressionistic listening. In this study, reiterant speech of two speakers was used to investigate the contributions of F0, duration, and intensity as acoustic correlates of both primary and secondary word stress in Indonesian. Once the technique of reiterant speech was shown to be reliable for these particular speakers, acoustic correlates of both primary and secondary were studied, by analyzing the reiterant speech patterns of two- to five-syllable words. It was found in all cases that the penult showed the peak F0 and greatest intensity. Final syllables exhibited consistently low F0 and intensity, but were similar in duration to penults, showing final lengthening. This study highlights the importance of expanding the range of languages investigated to reach a full understanding of the phonetic realization of both primary and secondary stress, while providing further evidence of the reliability of the technique of reiterant speech.
Four experiments investigated the effects of orthographic and phonological similarity on word recognition latencies using either auditory or visual presentations. All experiments exploited a priming methodology, with subjects participating in a lexical decision and a pronunciation task. In all experiments, target stimuli were preceded by primes which were related either orthographically, phonologically, or both orthographically and phonologically. The same stimuli were used for all experiments. For the experiments in the auditory modality, both lexical decision and naming data show robust priming effects relative to unrelated controls for experimental conditions in which there was both orthographic and phonological overlap as well as for conditions in which there is only phonological similarity. In the visual modality, the orthographically related condition showed significant inhibitory effects while phonologically related conditions show no priming effects. The data were analyzed in terms of modality of presentation, task requirements, and nature of the priming relationship. The results are interpreted in terms of the role of orthographic and auditory information in word recognition and implications for models of lexical organization.
