我们通过测量音节频率效应来研究音节在英语言语规划中的作用。到目前为止，英语中的音节频率效应还没有报道。英语的音节边界定义不明确，因此音节可能不会在英语语音产生中作为一个突出的单位。发言者产生单音节（实验1）或双音节（实验2-4）假词尽快响应象征性线索。单音节的目标包括高或低频率的音节，而双音节的项目包含第一或第二个音节是频率操纵。显著的音节频率效应在所有的实验中被发现。而荷兰语和西班牙语中的双音节的音节边界相对清晰的研究结果表明，第一，而不是第二音节的频率操纵的影响，在我们的研究中，英语发言者都敏感的频率两个音节。我们解释这种敏感性作为一个迹象表明，生产的英语有更广泛的规划范围内的接口语音编码和发音。
We investigated the role of syllables during speech planning in English by measuring syllable-frequency effects. So far, syllable-frequency effects in English have not been reported. English has poorly defined syllable boundaries, and thus the syllable might not function as a prominent unit in English speech production. Speakers produced either monosyllabic (Experiment 1) or disyllabic (Experiment 2-4) pseudowords as quickly as possible in response to symbolic cues. Monosyllabic targets consisted of either high- or low-frequency syllables, whereas disyllabic items contained either a 1st or 2nd syllable that was frequency-manipulated. Significant syllable-frequency effects were found in all experiments. Whereas previous findings for disyllables in Dutch and Spanish languages with relatively clear syllable boundaries showed effects of a frequency manipulation on 1st but not 2nd syllables, in our study English speakers were sensitive to the frequency of both syllables. We interpret this sensitivity as an indication that the production of English has more extensive planning scopes at the interface of phonetic encoding and articulation.
