把英语作为第二语言的人产生适当重音的能力各不相同，这往往会阻碍他们的理解力。本研究调查了英语本族语者和英语学习者产生词汇重音的情况。8名英语母语者和8名阿拉伯语英语学习者录下了最小配对。第二个实验考察了使用声学提示来指示阿拉伯语重读音节的情况(8名说话者)。在这两个实验中，检查了四个声学提示：持续时间、基频、幅度和第二共振峰频率。在基本频率和第二共振峰频率方面，这些线索的使用在不同的说话者群体(母语和非母语者)中被观察到。这些用来表示压力的线索的使用上的差异只与说话者的第一语言中这些声音线索的使用有部分关系。
Individuals who speak English as a second language vary in their ability to produce appropriate stress, which often impedes their intelligibility. The present study investigated the production of lexical stress by native speakers of English as well as learners of English. Minimal pairs were recorded by 8 native speakers of English and 8 Arabic learners of English. A second experiment examined use of acoustic cues to indicate stressed syllables in Arabic (8 speakers). In both experiments, four acoustic cues were examined: duration, fundamental frequency, amplitude, and second formant frequency. Differences in the use of these cues were observed across speaker groups (native and non-native speakers) for fundamental frequency and second formant frequency. These differences in use of cues to signal stress were only partially related to use of these acoustic cues in the speakers’ first language.
