Some languages exhibit variable patterns of emphasis or 'lexical stress' across words ('ZEbra' v 'girAFFE'). This research will provide a more precise understanding of the role of lexical stress in language processing. This will assist educators/clinicians working with normally developing children and those with developmental delays as well as educators/students in second-language learning. It will also lead to improved automatic speech recognition/synthesis - used in commercial applications such as phone banking, edutainment/epistemic computer games and communication devices (speech-to-text dictation systems for those with limited mobility and text-to-speech systems for those unable to speak). Undertaken in collaboration with a high-profile research lab in the UK this project will maintain Australia's competitive edge in cognitive science.

一些语言在单词之间表现出不同的强调模式或“词汇重音”（“Zebra”v“girAFFE”）。 本研究有助于更准确地理解词汇重音在语言加工中的作用。这将有助于教育工作者/临床医生与正常发展的儿童和那些发展迟缓，以及教育工作者/学生在第二语言学习。它还将导致改进的自动语音识别/合成-用于商业应用，如电话银行，教育娱乐/认知计算机游戏和通信设备（用于行动不便者的语音到文本听写系统和用于无法说话者的文本到语音系统）。该项目与英国一家知名研究实验室合作进行，将保持澳大利亚在认知科学方面的竞争优势。
