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提供了证据，表明节奏信息是婴儿用来引导习得目标语言的词汇和句法属性的最早线索之一（例如，Morgan & Demuth，2006），并且婴儿在生命的最初几个月内获得了目标语言的特定节奏和其他韵律属性（有关回顾和最新数据，请参阅 Höhle，Bijeljac- 巴比克、赫罗德、魏森博恩和纳齐，正在出版）。人们对一般听觉偏差如何与目标语言的特定声学特性相互作用的问题知之甚少。从跨语言学的角度来看，该项目将比较婴儿学习语言时节奏模式的早期感知偏好，这些语言的节奏组织根本不同。德语表现出基于重音的节奏，在词汇重音水平上具有抑扬音优势，而法语则具有基于音节的节奏，没有词汇重音，但由于词尾延长而导致词尾突出。我们之前关于压力模式偏好和歧视的发展工作揭示了单语法语和德语婴儿之间的感知差异（Höhle 等人，正在出版；Bijeljac-Babic、Serres、Höhle 和 Nazzi，正在准备中）。在这项工作之后，为了建立一般声学机制对获得抑扬音偏差的预测效果，我们将首先质疑抑扬格/抑扬音律独立于母语属性而适用的说法（Hay & Diehl，2007），通过使用更多类似语言的条件，在单语德语和法语成人和婴儿中重新评估该定律（第 1 部分）。其次，我们将扩展我们在重音模式偏好（Höhle 等人，出版中）、重音歧视（Höhle 等人，出版中；Bijeljac-Babic 等人，准备中）以及抑扬格/扬抑律在法德双语成人和婴儿方面的应用的发展和成人工作，以评估双语（法语-德语）环境对韵律加工的影响（部分） 2）。
