有越来越多的证据表明,韵律有助于将语音流分组为句法相关的单元(例如,霍桑&格肯,2014年;索德斯特罗姆,凯姆勒纳尔逊,& Jusczyk,2005年)。我们问是否韵律的句法习得的作用涉及到其一般的声学显着性或学习者的韵律和句法之间的相关性,在她的母语习得的知识。英语和日语习得19个月大的孩子听句子从人工语法与非母语韵律(日语或英语,分别),然后测试他们的能力,以识别韵律标记的成分时,成分已经移动到一个新的位置在句子中。两组都能够使用非母语韵律分析语音成凝聚力,可重新排序,句法成分样单位。与霍桑和格肯(2014)的研究相比,19个月大的婴儿在学习英语韵律的句子时同样擅长使用母语和非母语韵律,至少在某些类型的学习任务中,因此,韵律在早期句法分割中是有用的,因为它具有声学显著性。
There is mounting evidence that prosody facilitates grouping the speech stream into syntactically-relevant units (e.g., Hawthorne & Gerken, 2014; Soderstrom, Kemler Nelson, & Jusczyk, 2005). We ask whether prosody's role in syntax acquisition relates to its general acoustic salience or to the learner's acquired knowledge of correlations between prosody and syntax in her native language. English- and Japanese-acquiring 19-month-olds listened to sentences from an artificial grammar with non-native prosody (Japanese or English, respectively), then were tested on their ability to recognize prosodically-marked constituents when the constituents had moved to a new position in the sentence. Both groups were able to use non-native prosody to parse speech into cohesive, reorderable, syntactic constituent-like units. Comparison with Hawthorne & Gerken (2014), in which English-acquiring infants were tested on sentences with English prosody, suggests that 19-month-olds are equally adept at using native and non-native prosody for at least some types of learning tasks and, therefore, that prosody is useful in early syntactic segmentation because of its acoustic salience.
