1. 1. The role of word accents in semantic processing in South Swedish

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

   Author : Jinhee Kwon; [2023]
   Keywords : Word accents; spoken word recognition; prediction; ERP; N400; Languages and Literatures;

Swedish word accents are considered to have stronger grammatical functions than semantic roles, although they are shaped by both lexical and intonational information structure. READ MORE

3. 2. Lexical competition and predictive certainty in speech recognition: Modulations of pre-activation negativity amplitude by continuations, entropy and inhibition

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

   Author : Anna Hjortdal; [2022]
   Keywords : Speech perception; spoken word recognition; lexical competition; ERPs; PrAN.; Languages and Literatures;

   Abstract : A growing body of evidence suggests that speech recognition is facilitated by rapid activation of possible lexical candidates and subsequent competition and selection. An event-related potential (ERP) component 136-204 ms after word onset, the pre-activation negativity (PrAN), correlates with lexical competition. READ MORE

4. 3. L2 word accent production in Swedish: An experimental study on adult learners of Swedish with non-tonal L1 background

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

   Author : Ana Ramírez Maraver; [2021]
   Keywords : Second Language Acquisition; perception; production; prosody; fundamental frequency; Languages and Literatures;

   Abstract : Previous research has shown that intermediate-advanced L2 learners of Swedish with a non-tonal L1 can use word accents to predict the upcoming suffix as L1 Swedish speakers do. This was also the case of low-intermediate L2 learners who produced word accents after being instructed on the Swedish prosodic system. READ MORE

5. 4. Danish stød as a cue to upcoming suffixes : an ERP and response time study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för lingvistik och kognitiv semiotik; Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap

   Author : Anna Hjortdal; [2021]
   Keywords : stød; Danish; prosody; N400; P600; pre-activation negativity; PrAN; Languages and Literatures;

   Abstract : Prosodic cues such as stress and tones can help listeners predict upcoming structures and get a first crack at rapidly unfolding speech. The prosodic feature stød in Danish can distinguish word meanings but also signal imminent structures. For instance, monosyllabic nouns with stød lose stød when followed by the plural indefinite suffix -e. READ MORE

6. 5. L2 intonation by Swedish learners of Japanese:Analysis of pitch accent and prosodic phrasing errors

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

   Author : Natsumi Goto; [2020]
   Keywords : L2 Japanese intonation; Swedish learners of Japanese; L2 errors at the phrasal and sentence levels; pitch accent.; Languages and Literatures;

   Abstract : This thesis examines the L2 intonation of Swedish learners of Japanese with a focus on pitch accent and prosodic phrasing errors. Previous studies have attempted to predict L2 learners’ difficulties and errors, such as Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis (CAH) by Lado (1957) and Markedness Differential Hypothesis (MDH) by Eckman (1977; 1985).
