  1. 1. Neural Asymmetry in the Perception of South Swedish Word Accents

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fonetik

    Author : Huayuan Cui; [2023]
    Keywords : speech perception; South Swedish; Swedish word accents; mismatch negativity; MMN; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : South Swedish, as a dialect of modern Swedish, has two tonal word accents, accent 1 and accent 2. Regarding these two word accents, there are three groups of hypotheses on which one is more lexically specified. READ MORE

  3. 2. Holistic and combinatorial processing of Swedish tone accents in the brain: An MMN study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap

    Author : Renata Kochancikaite; [2019]
    Keywords : tone accents; Swedish; phonology; morphology; accent 1; accent 2; neurolinguistics; EEG; event-related potentials; MMN; mismatch negativity; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : All words in Swedish have a particular melody. There are two tonal patterns that are observed in different prosodic and morphological contexts – accent 1 and accent 2. The tone of accent 1 is the default melody in Swedish and is said to be of intonational nature. READ MORE

  4. 3. Neuronal activity to environmental sounds when presented together with semantically related words : An MMN study on monolingual and bilingual processing of homophones

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Avdelningen för allmän språkvetenskap

    Author : Yeliz Afyonoglu Kirbas; [2019]
    Keywords : Environmental sounds; interlingual homophones; mismatch negativity; event-related potentials; Miljöljud; interlingual-homofoner; mismatch negativity; event-relaterade potentialer;

    Abstract : Neuronal activity of monolingual and bilinguals to environmental sounds and words that are semantically related to them were studied using the mismatch negativity (MMN) component of event-related potentials. MMN was expected to reflect the language selection process in bilinguals on the bases of semantics and phonology. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effects of Suprasegmental Features on the Processing of Spoken Words in the Human Brain: Evidence from Mismatch Negativity (MMN)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Engelska; Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap

    Author : Hatice Zora; [2011]
    Keywords : language processing; brain; lexical access; word recognition; event-related potentials ERP ; mismatch negativity MMN ; stress perception; fundamental frequency; intensity; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : The study reported in the present paper aimed to determine the effect of prosodic cues on automatic word processing in the brain by comparing the mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the event-related potentials (ERP) elicited by isolated words and pseudowords. More specifically, it attempted to explore the influence of changes in certain suprasegmental cues such as fundamental frequency and intensity on the perception of linguistic stress patterns by native speakers of American English.
