Crosslinguistic investigations development rhythmic preferences

项目摘要

Recent research on early language acquisition has provided evidence that rhythmic information is one of the earliest cues infants use to bootstrap into the acquisition of lexical and syntactic properties of the target language (e.g., Morgan & Demuth, 2006) and that infants acquire the specific rhythmic and other prosodic properties of their target language within the first months of life (for a review and recent data, see Höhle, Bijeljac- Babic, Herold, Weissenborn & Nazzi, in press). Less is known about the question of how general auditory biases interact with the specific acoustic properties of the target language. Taking a crosslinguistic perspective, this project will compare early perceptual preferences of rhythmic patterns in infants learning languages that fundamentally differ in their rhythmic organization. Whereas German shows a stressed-based rhythm with a trochaic dominance on the level of lexical stress, French has a syllable-based rhythm with no lexical stress but phrase-final prominence due to final lengthening. Our previous developmental work on stress pattern preference and discrimination has revealed perceptual differences between monolingual French and German infants (Höhle et al., in press; Bijeljac- Babic, Serres, Höhle & Nazzi, in preparation). Following this work, and to establish predicted effects of general acoustic mechanisms for the acquisition of the trochaic bias, we will first question the claim that the iambic/trochaic law applies independently of the properties of the native language (Hay & Diehl, 2007) by reassessing this law in monolingual German and French adults and infants, using more language-like conditions (Part 1). Second, we will expand our developmental and adult work on stress pattern preference (Höhle et al., in press), stress discrimination (Höhle et al., in press; Bijeljac-Babic et al., in preparation), and the application of the iambic/trochaic law to bilingual French-German adults and infants in order to evaluate the influence of a bilingual (French-German) environment on prosodic processing (Part 2).

最近关于早期语言习得的研究已经提供了证据，证明节奏信息是婴儿用来引导获得目标语言的词汇和句法特征的最早的线索之一(例如，Morgan&Demuth，2006)，并且婴儿在出生的第一个月就获得了目标语言的特定的节奏和其他韵律特征(有关综述和最新数据，请参见Höhle，Bijeljac-Babic，Herold，WeissenBorn和Nazzi，在出版社中)。关于一般听觉偏向如何与目标语言的特定声学特性相互作用的问题，我们知之甚少。从跨语言的角度来看，这个项目将比较学习节奏组织上根本不同的语言的婴儿对节奏模式的早期知觉偏好。德语的节奏以重音为基础，在词汇重音层面上占主导地位，而法语的节奏以音节为基础，没有词汇重音，但由于词尾的加长，词尾突出。我们之前关于压力模式偏好和辨别的发展工作揭示了单语法语和德语婴儿之间的知觉差异(Höhle等人，在出版中；Bijeljac-Babic，Serres，Höhle和Nazzi，在准备中)。在这项工作之后，并为了建立一般声学机制对获得回旋偏向的预测效果，我们将首先质疑变音/回旋规律独立于母语属性适用的说法(Hay&Diehl，2007)，方法是在单语言的德国和法国成年人和婴儿中重新评估该定律，使用更多类似语言的条件(第1部分)。其次，我们将扩大我们在重音模式偏好(Höhle等人，正在出版中)、重音辨别(Höhle等人，在出版社；Bijeljac-Babic等人，正在准备中)以及对法德双语成年人和婴儿应用抑扬格/韵律的发展和成人工作，以评估双语(法德)环境对韵律加工的影响(第二部分)。
