Title: | LEXICAL STRESS: THE BRIDGE TO INITIAL AND FINAL EMBEDDED WORD PRIMING IN SPOKEN BISYLLABIC WORDS | Authors: | TAN JOH | Issue Date: | 8-Apr-2021 | Citation: | TAN JOH (2021-04-08). LEXICAL STRESS: THE BRIDGE TO INITIAL AND FINAL EMBEDDED WORD PRIMING IN SPOKEN BISYLLABIC WORDS. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | The literature on embedded word priming revealed mixed findings with regards to the position of embedded word priming. Adapting the semantic competition task, this study investigates the interaction between embedded word position and lexical stress on embedded word priming. A 2 (Embedded word position: Initial vs Final) x 2 (Lexical stress: Stressed vs Unstressed) x 2 (Congruency: Congruent vs Incongruent) fully within-subjects design was employed for the study. The dependent variables were (1) reaction time and (2) accuracy of the responses. Reaction time results indicate a main effect of embedded word position where priming only occurred for initial-embedded words. Accuracy results indicate embedded word priming only in the “initial, unstressed” and “final, stressed” conditions. Accuracy results under the incongruent condition indicate more priming for the initial than final position only in the unstressed condition. Together, these results support continuous models and the metrical segmentation strategy (MSS) and show less support for sequential models. More importantly, the lexical stress pattern of a carrier word is possibly a crucial independent variable for embedded word priming. | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/195758 |
