Multilevel prosodic processing crosslinguistic perspective

项目摘要

Research on early language acquisition has shown that prosodic 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 language specific prosodic properties within the first months of life (e.g. Höhle et al., 2009). Still, less is known regarding how general auditory mechanisms contribute to and are shaped by infants developing phonological system. Based on results from previous common work (Bijeljac-Babic et al., 2012; Höhle et al., 2009), the present project approaches this issue taking a crosslinguistic view on monolingual French and German learning children, two languages that have crucial differences in their prosodic systems of word stress and prosodic phrasing. First, we will explore the acoustic factors that are implicated in the acquisition of the trochaic bias at the lexical level, by investigating infants sensitivity to the three main cues (duration, intensity, pitch) that are used to mark lexical stress in different languages. Second, we will explore infants and adults sensitivity to these same prosodic cues at the phrase level, given evidence that these cues are used differently at the two levels in French and German. In parallel, based on the results on monolinguals showing different patterns of stress processing in these two languages, we will investigate the development of the prosodic system in French-German bilinguals. The findings that infants early perceptual mechanisms are shaped by the phonological properties of the language in acquisition provide a specific challenge for bilingual language acquisition. This project will thus bring crucial data on bilingual language acquisition, an issue of great importance given the fact that most infants in the world grow up with more than one language. Our findings could also found applications in the domain of second language acquisition, by setting up training programs to enhance stress perception and production in French infants/adults. The use of same experimental procedures (HPP and ERPs) and the same materials by the German and the French partners will ensure comparability of the results and will allow for reliable insights into differences and similarities of early monolingual and bilingual acquisition of these two languages.

对早期语言习得的研究表明，韵律信息是婴儿用来引导进入目标语言的词汇和句法特性的习得的最早线索之一（例如Morgan & Demuth，2006），并且婴儿在生命的最初几个月内获得语言特定的韵律特性（例如Höhle等人，2009年）。然而，很少有人知道一般的听觉机制如何有助于和塑造婴儿发展语音系统。基于先前共同工作的结果（Bijeljac-Babic等人，2012; Höhle等人，2009），本项目的方法这个问题采取跨语言的观点对单语法语和德语学习的儿童，两种语言，有关键的差异，在他们的韵律系统的单词重音和韵律短语。首先，我们将探讨声学因素，涉及在词汇水平上的收购，通过调查婴儿的敏感性的三个主要线索（持续时间，强度，音高），这是用来标记词汇重音在不同的语言。第二，我们将探讨婴儿和成人的敏感性，这些相同的韵律线索在短语水平，这些线索在两个不同的水平在法语和德语的证据。同时，基于单语者在这两种语言中表现出不同的重音处理模式的结果，我们将研究法德双语者韵律系统的发展。婴儿早期的感知机制是由语言的语音特性在习得中形成的，这一发现为双语语言习得提供了一个特殊的挑战。因此，该项目将带来关于双语语言习得的关键数据，鉴于世界上大多数婴儿在成长过程中使用一种以上语言，这一问题非常重要。我们的研究结果还可以在第二语言习得领域找到应用，通过制定培训计划来增强法国婴儿/成人的压力感知和产生。德国和法国合作伙伴使用相同的实验程序（HPP和ERPs）和相同的材料，将确保结果的可比性，并将允许可靠的洞察这两种语言的早期单语和双语习得的差异和相似之处。
