Recordings captured by wearable microphones are a standard method for investigating
young children's language environments. A key measure to quantify from such data is the …

In languages with word‐level stress, segmentally matched stressed and unstressed
syllables (such as the first syllables of English camper and campaign) differ acoustically, but …

Turkish vowel harmony is a cover term for a set of well‐formedness conditions that dictate
which vowels can co‐occur within what we will simply call a non‐compounded word …

Infants' preference for vowel harmony (VH, a phonotactic constraint that requires vowels in a
word to be featurally similar) is thought to be language-specific: Monolingual infants learning …

This dissertation outlines a program for the theory of phonotactics—the theory of speakers'
knowledge of possible and impossible (or likely and unlikely) words—and argues that the …

To acquire language, infants must learn to segment words from running speech. A
significant body of experimental research shows that infants use multiple cues to do so; …

Despite the essential role of statistical learning in shaping human behavior, there are still
controversies concerning its measurement. In this paper, we present a novel online target …

This paper investigates the way the predictability of prosodic patterns in a particular
language influences the processing of stress information by native speakers of that …

Native language prosodic structure is known to modulate the processing of non-native
suprasegmental information. It has been shown that native speakers of French, a language …

Across languages, phonological words are restricted by constraints on their phonological
structure. As a by-product, word-internal phonological structure creates cues to word …
