The project will explore the mechanisms underlying word stress in German. It starts from two assumptions: first that, inspite of a number of recent theoretical and empirical studies on word stress in German, central issues in the description and explanation of word stress have not been solved adequately, and second that linguistic regularities have a direct correlate in terms of neurophysiological representations. On the basis of these assumptions we propose to conduct neurolinguistic experiments on the nature of word stress phenomena. Primarily through a series of EEG experiments, the word stress regularities, their possible underlying prosodic structures, markedness aspects as part of prosodic constraints and/or lexical prosodic representations, the relationship between regular and irregular items, and the neuro-cognitive representation and function of stress will be explored. In particular, assuming that penultimate stress is the default stress pattern in German (Wiese, 1996), we will investigate how this pattern can be modified by factors like quantity sensitivity, edge marking, prosodic structure, lexical associations and others, and how these factors can be captured within a theoretical model of (German) word stress.

该项目将探讨德语单词重音的潜在机制。它从两个假设开始：第一，尽管最近的一些理论和实证研究在德语单词重音，在描述和解释单词重音的核心问题还没有得到充分解决，第二，语言的重音有一个直接相关的神经生理表征。在这些假设的基础上，我们建议进行神经语言学实验的性质的词重音现象。首先通过一系列的脑电实验，探讨了词重音的韵律结构、韵律约束和/或词汇韵律表征中的标记性、规则项和不规则项之间的关系以及重音的神经认知表征和功能。特别是，假设倒数第二个重读是德语中的默认重读模式（Wiese，1996），我们将研究如何通过数量敏感性、边缘标记、韵律结构、词汇联想等因素来修改这种模式，以及如何在（德语）单词重读的理论模型中捕获这些因素。
